Southbourne is an electoral ward and civil parish in the district of Chichester, in West Sussex, England. It occupies the coastal plain north of Chichester Harbour, where farmland and small settlements meet estuarine mudflats and saltmarsh, and it has good road links into Chichester and across to Portsmouth.
The area retains a largely rural character while also functioning as a commuter and coastal community: local life centres on village amenities and community groups, with an economy made up of agriculture, small businesses and people travelling to nearby towns for work. Conservation and recreational use of the harbour - notable for birdlife and boating - give the ward a quiet, nature-focused feel alongside easy access to wider cultural and historic attractions in the region.
