Hellingly is a small village and civil parish in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England, set in the rolling, agricultural landscape of the Weald. It sits amid farmland and pockets of ancient woodland and is close to larger market towns such as Hailsham, with the coastal centres of Eastbourne and Hastings within easy commuting reach.

The village has a quiet, community-focused feel with a medieval parish church and local amenities like a village hall and primary school. Historically it is known for the Victorian-era Hellingly Hospital, whose former buildings and distinctive water tower remain a notable local landmark; today the economy is a mix of agriculture and people commuting to nearby towns, with occasional community events and countryside walks drawing visitors.
