'''Hawkhurst''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in the [[borough of Tunbridge Wells]] in [[Kent]], England. The village is located close to the border with [[East Sussex]], around {{convert|12|mi|km|0}} south-east of [[Royal Tunbridge Wells]] and within the [[High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]].

Hawkhurst is virtually two villages: The Moor, to the south, consists mainly of cottages clustered around a large triangular green, while Highgate, to the north, features a colonnade of independent shops, two country pubs, hotels, a digital cinema in a converted lecture hall, and [[Waitrose]] and [[Tesco]] supermarkets.

There are four designated conservation areas in Hawkhurst parish – one at Sawyers Green, two in Highgate (Highgate and All Saints' Church) and one at The Moor. There are also over 200 listed buildings across the parish.

Since boundary changes in the 2010 general election, Hawkhurst is part of the parliamentary constituency of Tunbridge Wells, represented by Conservative [[Greg Clark]]. Prior to this it was in the [[Maidstone and The Weald (UK Parliament constituency)|Maidstone and The Weald]] constituency, formerly represented by [[Ann Widdecombe]].
