Littleham is an area of Exmouth and former civil parish, now in the parish of Exmouth, in the East Devon district, in the county of Devon, England. It was historically a village, much older than Exmouth itself. In 1961 the parish had a population of 7954. On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished.

The ecclesiastical parish is now known as Littleham-cum-Exmouth. The original parish church dates back to the 13th century and is dedicated to St Margaret and St Andrew. Frances Nelson, wife of Lord Nelson, is buried in the churchyard. The newer parish church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1824.
