Acton Beauchamp (/ˈæktən ˈbəm/) is a village and civil parish in the English county of Herefordshire. The population of the parish was 229 at the 2011 census.

Acton Beauchamp is located 5 km south of the small market town of Bromyard.

The parish church is dedicated to St. Giles and is built in Norman style, partly rebuilt in 1819 but also having an extremely rare Anglo Saxon carved stone door lintel reused in the wall of the Norman church tower. The carving depicts a bird, a lion and what is possibly a goat.

The village population is 216 scattered amongst farms, cottages and other housing over the hillsides.
