Highnam is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England, northwest of Gloucester. It lies just off the A40 towards Ross, west of Alney Island and Over Bridge. It is connected by segregated cycle paths via Over Bridge and Alney Island to Gloucester. The parish includes the villages of Lassington and Over. In the 2001 census the parish had a population of 2,014, reducing to 1,916 at the 2011 census. At the 2021 census it had increased to 2,141.
Highnam was originally made up of farm land, which explains some of its street names (Brimsome Meadow, Poppy Field, Stoney Field, Long Field, Peters Field, Williams Orchard, et al.). As a village, Highnam is fairly small, containing few social amenities. These include the Church of the Holy Innocents, a school (Highnam C of E Primary), a village hall, a day nursery, a village shop and a doctor's surgery.
