Ardingly is a village and civil parish in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England, on the B2028 road, north of Haywards Heath, approximately halfway between London and the coastal city of Brighton. The parish covers an area of 1609.08 hectares (3974 acres). In the 2001 census 1833 people lived in 627 households of whom 830 were economically active.

This area is part of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known as the High Weald.

Points of interest are the Ardingly Reservoir and the extensive grounds of "Kew in the Country" at Wakehurst Place. St Peter's Church, situated towards the western end of the village, dates from the 14th century. The rock formation of Big-Upon-Little lies close to a footpath between Ardingly and Horsted Keynes.

Jon Snow, the television newscaster, was born in Ardingly.
