Denton is a small village inside the town boundary of Newhaven, East Sussex, England. It adjoins the villages of South Heighton and Mount Pleasant and backs onto the South Downs

The Manor of Denton was held in Saxon times by Earl Godwin, Father of King Harold II Godwinson. It seems likely that Denton was destroyed during the Saxon rebellion of 1068. It does not appear in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name Denton comes from Old English and means farmstead or village in a valley.
