Margaret Bonham (1913–1991) was a British short-story writer born in London. Bonham's works include the short story "The English Lesson" and the books The Casino (1948) and The House Across the River (1951).

Bonham attended Wimbledon High School in London growing up, but would go on to spend most of her lifetime in the countryside.

Bonham was married three times. Her first marriage, to Walter Griffith, ended "disastrously" when she was "very young". Her second marriage was to Deryck Bazalgette, the great-grandson of Sir Joseph Bazalgette. The two met when they both attended the Peace Pledge Union, a pacifist, anti-war organization and as conscientious objectors established a commune in Devon. Bonham gave birth to two children, Cary and Charles. They divorced after the Second World War.
