Crawley Down is a residential ward in the district of Mid Sussex, nestled on the northern edge of West Sussex in England. It sits within the civil parish of Slaugham and occupies a mix of low chalk downland and suburban ribbon development, giving easy access to surrounding countryside while being convenient for commuters heading to nearby centres such as Crawley, Gatwick and East Grinstead.

Historically the area grew from scattered agricultural and downland uses into a compact village through the 19th and 20th centuries, and today it has a lively local community with village shops, pubs, a hall and sports clubs. Economically it is largely residential with local services and small businesses, and socially it benefits from active volunteer groups and good footpath links into the surrounding rural landscape.
