Ealhhelm (floruit 940–955) was an Anglo-Saxon nobleman and ealdorman in Mercia of West Saxon origins. It was in the reign of Edmund, circa 940, that Ealhhelm was appointed as an ealdorman.

Ealhhelm and his family appear to have been connected with south-western Mercia, the former kingdom of the Hwicce, which corresponded approximately with the boundaries of the diocese of Worcester.

A kinsman of Ealhhelm named Wulfric—probably the father of Ealhhelm's daughter-in-law—who later received part of the Evesham lands, may be identified with the brother of Saint Dunstan. Ealhhelm is described by the historian Shashi Jayakumar as "an obscure figure who had been ealdorman in Mercia under Edmund". His sons were Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia, Ælfheah, Ælfwine and Eadric. Ælfric Cild may have been his son-in-law. (en)
