Peasmarsh is a village and civil parish in East Sussex in England. It is located on the A268 road between Rye and Beckley, some three miles (4.8 km) north-west of Rye.

The village church, dedicated to SS Peter and Paul, [cite web |url=http://www.crsbi.ac.uk/ed/sx/peasm/index.htm |title=St Peter and St Paul, Peasmarsh, Sussex |accessdate=2008-09-28 |work= The Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland |publisher=The British Academy |date=22 April 1989|last=Morrison|first=Kathryn A ] lies about one mile (1.6 km) from the village; it is thought the village centre was moved after the Black Death plague. [cite web |url=http://peasmarsh.east-sussex.co.uk/ |title=Peasmarsh, East Sussex |accessdate=2008-09-28 |publisher=DomainSupport ltd ] There are three public houses and a motel in close proximity to the village; and a country leisure centre. "Peasmarsh Place" is to the south-east of the village.

Every year, in June, the "Florestan Festival", bringing concerts of chamber music, is held in the church [cite web |url=http://www.florestantrio.com/festival.htm |title=florestan festival at peasmarsh |accessdate=2008-09-28 |publisher=The Florestan Trust ] .
