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, downstream of Southease.

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 John's Church is one of three in the Ouse Valley with a round Norman tower, the others being at nearby Southease and Lewes.

Piddinghoe is regularly visited by sailing enthusiasts as the body of water by the village is a fine location for dinghy sailing in particular but also windsurfing.

An old saying of unknown origin says that "Piddinghoe people shoe their magpies".
One theory is that this refers to the habit of shoeing oxen, which if black and white, were called magpies.
