Havdhem is a locality situated on the Swedish island of Gotland with 300 inhabitants in 2014. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Havdhem District.
Havdhem is the name of the socken, now district. It is also the name of the larger locality within the district and the small village surrounding the medieval Havdhem Church, sometimes referred to as Havdhem kyrkby. It is situated in the central south part of Gotland.
In 1961, Havdhem Municipality initiated a relief work project at Havor hillfort in Hablingbo that lead to the discovery of the Havor hoard.
