Matfield is a compact village in the civil parish of Brenchley and Matfield, in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.

The village is centred on a large green with a traditional cricket pitch and is characterised by attractive timber‑framed and brick houses, village pubs and a strong community life.
