East Blatchington is a coastal village in East Sussex, and is nowadays the western part of Seaford where the two have gradually merged.

Like Seaford and Newhaven, its western neighbour, East Blatchington was a front line coastal defence during the Napoleonic war, and had a military barracks built in 1794 and demolished after the Great War.

St Peter's Parish Church dates back to about 1100 and the church registers date from 1563. The church has a memorial to pioneer balloonist Henry Tracey Coxwell.

East Blatchington is associated with Tide Mills, and is sometimes given as an alternate name for the Tide Mills area.
