Bachelor's Bump is a small, grass-topped rise just above the seafront area of Hastings in East Sussex, England. It serves as a handy local viewpoint, giving short, breezy outlooks over the town and the English Channel and forming part of the patchwork of slopes and cliffs that characterise the coastline there.

Locally it is noted more for atmosphere than grand history: the name hints at old vernacular or a local legend about unmarried men meeting there, and it sits within easy walking distance of the Old Town and the fishing Stade, so it’s frequented by residents and visitors combining a seaside stroll with a slice of Hastings community life.
