Iden is a small village and civil parish in the district of Rother, in East Sussex, England. It sits close to the historic town of Rye and overlooks the low-lying landscapes around the River Rother, with easy views across the nearby Romney Marsh and towards the coast.

With medieval roots and a compact, rural feel, Iden has traditionally been an agricultural community and still keeps that quiet village character. Today it combines farming with a modest number of commuters and holiday visitors attracted by the historic towns and coastal walking routes nearby, offering a peaceful base not far from more tourist‑focused centres.
