Harbour Villages is an electoral ward in Chichester, West Sussex, England, covering a string of small coastal villages and hamlets on the north‑western shore of Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape is dominated by tidal creeks, saltmarsh and open farmland, giving the ward a distinctly maritime feel popular with sailors, birdwatchers and walkers.
There are strong historic and cultural threads here - nearby places such as Bosham have ancient churches and maritime lore and the area sits close to the famous Fishbourne Roman Palace - while the local economy leans on tourism, leisure boating and commuter links into Chichester. Community life tends to revolve around village halls, sailing clubs and conservation groups working to protect the harbour and its wildlife.
