Sevington is a small village and civil parish to the south-east of Ashford, Kent in England, with a population of about 113 in 1872,[2] currently 354.

The village is recorded in the Domesday Book and St Mary's Church, a Norman church was altered about 1200 and in the 14th century, it is now cut off from the village by the building of the Southern Orbital road.[3]

In recent years there have been many changes in Sevington due to the building of the Orbital Business Park including the Ashford livestock market.
