Leigh is a village and a civil parish located in the borough of Sevenoaks, Kent, England. It is located six miles (10km) south of Sevenoaks town and three miles (5km) west of Tonbridge. Although it derives its name from the same source as lea, it is here pronounced like "lie" – IPAEng|ˈlaɪ.

There is a large village green; nearby is "Hall Place", once Leigh Hall, occasionally open to the public, built in 1876. The parish church (13th century) is dedicated to St Mary.
