Eastergate is a village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is located 5 miles (8km) east of Chichester. The civil parish covers an area of 37042 ha and has a population of 3107 persons (2001 census).

Roman remains have been found near St George's church, although until the 20th century the village remained a small one. The area, being on alluvium, was principally used for market gardens. Subsequent house building has resulted in a large increase in population.

John Ireland (1879-1962) often stayed in the parish, and named a hymn tune after it.
