West Barnfield or Little Barnfield is a hundred of Kent that forms part of the Lathe of Aylesford.

The hundred consists solely of the southern portion of the ancient parish of Goudhurst. In this part of Kent the hundreds are very small, and frequently their bounds incorporate only parts of parishes. This is especially true of West Barnfield, which only incorporates a part of a single parish, and its neighbour East Barnfield, which similarly only includes part of Hawkhurst.

Greenwood's county history of Kent had only this to say about the hundred:[1]

“ Is hardly more than a nominal hundred, including only the south-east part of the Parish of Goudhurst, but having neither the village nor church within its bounds. ”

It is the least populous of Kent's hundreds, with a population of just 589.
