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 Waveney district. The mid-2005 population estimate for Redisham parish was 110.[1] Ilkestshall St Lawrence is 2 miles (3.2 km) to the east, Brampton 2 1⁄4 miles (3.6 km) south-west and Ringsfield 2 miles (3.2 km) north.

The village has no services, although Brampton railway station on the East Suffolk Line is closer to Redisham than it is to Brampton. The parish church is dedicated to St Peter.[2][3] It is a Grade I listed building[4] with a Norman doorway[2][3] and has been the site of a church since the 10th Century.[2] It is reported to be the smallest church in Suffolk with only 60 seats.[2]

Redisham Hall is located to the north of the village but is in Ringsfield parish.
