Rodmell is a small village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is located three miles (4.8 km) south-west of Lewes, on the Lewes to Newhaven road and is situated by the west banks of the River Ouse. The village is served by Southease railway station opened in 1906.

It has an early Norman church, dedicated to St. Peter, whose font is believed to be Saxon, predating the building itself. Fact|date=May 2008

Monk's House is located in the village, the home of the author Virginia Woolf for twenty-one years until her death in 1941. She left this house for the last time on 28 March 1941, took a walk through the local fields, and drowned herself in the nearby River Ouse. Her husband Leonard Woolf continued to live there until his death in 1969, and after a few more residents had passed through, it was bought by the University of Sussex, before being acquired and restored by the National Trust.

The village is bisected by the road from Lewes to Newhaven which passes through Iford. This road also passes the neighbouring village of Southease.

Breaky Bottom is the name of a valley within the parish. Breaky Bottom vineyard produces a well-known English wine and former gold medallist in the Wine Magazine International Wine Challenge. [ [http://www.breakybottom.co.uk/mainindex.htm Breaky Bottom Winery website] ]
