Puttenham is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tring Rural, in the Dacorum district, in north west Hertfordshire, England. In 1961 the parish had a population of 107.[1] On 1 April 1964 the parish was abolished and merged with Tring Rural.[2]

It was recorded as ‘Puteham’ in the Domesday Book.[3]

St Mary's Church, the Church of England parish church, has a nave and aisles dating from the early 14th-century, and an elaborate roof and west tower from the 15th-century. It is a Grade I listed building.[4]

Puttenham is one of the 51 Thankful Villages in England and Wales that suffered no fatalities during the Great War of 1914 to 1918.
