Earith is a small village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set in the low-lying Fens where the River Great Ouse meets the drainage channels that cross the landscape. The flat, open surroundings and the village's waterways - most notably Earith Sluice and nearby channels such as the Old Bedford River - give the area a distinct character and make it popular with boaters, anglers and birdwatchers.
The settlement has medieval roots and a compact village centre with typical local amenities, and its history and economy are closely tied to the long-running fen drainage and agricultural use of the land. Community life is shaped by farming, small local businesses and recreational visitors; for wider services residents commonly travel to nearby towns such as St Ives and Huntingdon.
