Perham Down is a village in Wiltshire, England, in Tidworth parish on the eastern edge of Salisbury Plain. It lies on a minor road about Script error: No such module "convert". east of the town of Tidworth and Script error: No such module "convert". southwest of the town of Ludgershall. The county border with Hampshire is nearby and the nearest large town is Andover, Hampshire, about Script error: No such module "convert". to the southeast.

The main feature of the village is Perham Down Camp which was rebuilt between 1972 and 1974 and renamed Swinton Barracks at that time.[1][2][3]

On Lamb Down to the south of the village is a linear earthwork, possibly a prehistoric boundary marker; it may have extended further north but that section would have been destroyed when the barracks were built.[4]

For elections to Wiltshire Council, Perham Down falls within Ludgershall and Perham Down electoral division, electing one councillor.[5] Boundary changes in 2020, effective from the 2021 election, place Perham within the Tidworth East & Ludgershall South division.[6][7]
