Fishbourne is a small village and civil parish just west of Chichester on the edge of Chichester Harbour in West Sussex, England. It sits on a low coastal plain with saltmarsh and mudflats nearby, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers; the harbour itself is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and gives the area a quiet, maritime character.

Despite its modest size the settlement has an outsized historic profile thanks to Fishbourne Roman Palace, one of the largest Roman domestic sites in Britain, with mosaics and recreated gardens that attract visitors. The local economy is a mix of agriculture, tourism connected to the palace and harbour, and commuters who use local services and the nearby rail link into Chichester.
