Offham is a village and civil parish in the local government district of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England, five miles to the west of Maidstone.
Offham has a quintain on the village green that was reported in medieval times for use in jousting. It is reputed to be the last English quintain in its original position, though it was removed for safekeeping during the Second World War.
The village gets its name from "Offa", the name of a Saxon landowner, and "ham", a village or homestead.
