Puchheim ({{IPA|de|ˈpuːxˌhaɪm|-|LL-Q188 (deu)-Michael Schoenitzer (MichaelSchoenitzer)-Puchheim.wav}}; Central Bavarian: Buachham) is suburb to Munich in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck, in Bavaria, Germany. It has about 20,000 inhabitants.

Puchheim is divided into two parts: the old and rural part called Puchheim-Ort and the new part of Puchheim (Puchheim-Bahnhof) that was founded when the Munich S-Bahn was built. Before that there was one of the first civil airfields in Bavaria, which was later used as a prisoner of war camp during World War I.{{cite web|title=Aus der Geschichte Puchheims|url=http://www.puchheim.de/index.php?id=0,22|publisher=Stadt Puchheim (City of Puchheim)|accessdate=1 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719074559/http://www.puchheim.de/index.php?id=0,22|archive-date=19 July 2011|url-status=dead}} The area around the camp was dried up by workers from the POW camp, so that houses could be built.

The old part of Puchheim is even older than Munich.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}
