Westbourne is a compact village and civil parish in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England, sitting just inland from the Solent and close to the Hampshire border. The settlement grew along the small River Ems and enjoys easy access to the tidal creeks of Chichester Harbour, with the coastal market town of Emsworth a short drive away.

The village retains a mix of historic character - flint and brick cottages and a parish church - alongside modern commuter-friendly housing. Local life is shaped by agriculture and small businesses, a village hall and pub, and a strong community calendar of events, making it popular with people wanting countryside character within reach of nearby towns and the coast.
