Mereworth is a small rural village and civil parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling, Kent, England, set in the gently rolling farmland typical of the county. It sits within easy reach of Maidstone and has good transport links that make commuting to larger towns and even London feasible, while retaining a quiet, village feel of lanes, hedgerows and orchards.

The village is dominated by the historic estate centred on Mereworth Castle, an 18th‑century Palladian country house whose parkland and avenues shape much of the local landscape. The community is small and largely residential, with agriculture and estate-related activity still important; socially it retains traditional village ties through parish events and the surrounding countryside provides popular walking routes for locals and visitors interested in Kentish rural heritage.
