Alfriston is a village and civil parish in the East Sussex district of Wealden, England on the River Cuckmere, about four miles north-east of Seaford. The parish has a population of 769 (2001 census).

In 1931 Eleanor Farjeon wrote the popular hymn Morning Has Broken in Alfriston, supposedly about the beauty she saw around her in this village. The song was later recorded by Cat Stevens in the 1970's reaching a wider audience.
