Blean is located in the Canterbury district of Kent, England. It is the name of the civil parish as well as the village within it: the latter is scattered along the road between Canterbury and Whitstable, in the middle of what was once the extensive "Forest of Blean".

The parish church is dedicated to St. Cosmus and St. Damian in the Blean: the ancient ecclesiastical parish carries the same title. It is a 13th century building, set away from the village.

Blean is the birthplace of early England woman cricketer, Peta Taylor. The Blean Beagles Hunt that set out from the village gave its name to HMS "Blean".
