Egdean (pronounced 'Egg-deen') is a small village in Sussex, just off the A283 road just under two miles south-east of Petworth (to whose civil parish it has been assigned).

The parish church is St Bartholomew, dating from the 16th century.

In earlier centuries a horse fair was held at Egdean. It was one of the last occasions on which the 3rd Earl of Egremont was seen out in public before he died in 1837.^[1] The earl gave a £20 prize for the best three-year-old colt or filly.^[2]
