Playden is a village and civil parish in the Rother District of East Sussex, England. The village is located one mile (1.6 km) north-west of Rye. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book; it is a largely rural parish, having no village centre, and the hamlet of Houghton Green is included in the parish. Playden's main occupation was fishing: the fish were salted in a one-time settlement known as "Saltcote", after the fact that it had a fish salting industry based there. "Saltcote Street" is now all that remains of that industry [ [http://www.villagenet.co.uk/rotherlevels/villages/playden.php Notes on the village] ] .

The Norman church is dedicated to St Michael [ [http://www.rye-tourism.co.uk/pages/playden_church.asp St Michael's church] ] .

Within the parish there is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Houghton Green Cliff. This is an exposed cliff face displaying sandstones of geological interest.
