Redisham is a village and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk. It is located 3+1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) south-west of Beccles and 4+1⁄3 miles (7.0 km) north-east of Halesworth in the East Suffolk district. The population of the parish was 125 at the 2011 United Kingdom census.^[1]

The parish is in a rural location.^[2] It borders Ilketshall St Andrew, Westhall, Brampton with Stoven, Shadingfield, Weston and Ringsfield.^[1] The village is on the eastern border of the parish, with some of the housing in it across the border in Shadingfield.^[2]

The village has limited services, although Brampton railway station on the East Suffolk Line is closer to Redisham than it is to Brampton.^[2] The parish church is dedicated to St Peter.^[3]^[4] It is a Grade I listed building with a Norman doorway^[3]^[4] and has been the site of a church since the 10th Century. It is reported to be the smallest church in Suffolk with only 60 seats.^[3]

The author Adrian Bell farmed a smallholding in the village during World War II.^[5] This was the childhood home of his children, translator Anthea Bell and the journalist and politician Martin Bell.^[2]

Redisham Hall is located to the north of the village but is in Ringsfield parish.^[2]
