Woodmancote is a village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England, located 1 mile (1.5km) southeast of Henfield on the A281 road. It should not be confused with the other West Sussex village of Woodmancote near Chichester.

This scattered community has no village centre, but includes the hamlet of Blackstone. The Anglican parish church, "St Peter's", stands alone beside the A281 road, while not far away is Woodmancote Place, a large house used as a country club. Originally thirteenth century the church was largely rebuilt in 1868. There is a parish hall and one public house, the "Wheatsheaf", in Wheatsheaf Lane".

The parish was recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086 as "Odemancote". Two of the Lewes martyrs, burnt at the stake in the Marian Persecutions of 1556, Thomas Harland and John Oswald, came from Woodmancote.

The parish has a land area of 848.7 hectares (2096 acres). In the 2001 census 478 people lived in 189 households, of whom 248 were economically active.
