Piddinghoe is a village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is located in the valley of the River Ouse between Lewes and Newhaven, five miles (8 km) south of the former.

The village was once a central player in Sussex smuggling. It is also notable for having the only remaining bottle-shaped brick kiln in the country.

St Johns Church is one of three in the Ouse Valley with a round Norman tower.

Piddinghoe is regularly visited by yachting enthusiasts as the large stretch of water by the village is a fine location for sailing.
