Clapham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Arun, in West Sussex, England. It sits on the coastal plain at the foot of the South Downs, a short drive from the coast and from market towns such as Arundel and Littlehampton, giving it a blend of countryside tranquillity with easy access to seaside amenities.

Historically an agricultural community, Clapham retains a rural character with period cottages, farmsteads and a small but active village life centred on local events and the parish hub. The proximity to wooded lanes, Downs walking routes and coastal paths makes it popular with walkers and cyclists, while the local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and commuters to nearby towns.
