Hothfield is a village and civil parish in the Ashford District of Kent, England and is located north-west of Ashford town.
The village is located to the south of the A20 road. To the north is Hothfield Common, 58 hectares (143 acres) of heathland and lowland valley bogs: a nature reserve managed by Kent Wildlife Trust.
The medieval parish church is dedicated to Saint Margaret; it was rebuilt in 1598 after a fire.
Hothfield is also the site of a notorious gay cruising ground.
