Great Culverden is a house, built in 1830 by Jacob Jeddere Fisher, in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England.

About half a mile from the centre of Tunbridge Wells, in the Mount Ephraim area, lies a small 9½ acre wood, known as Great Culverden Park. The first big house built on the highest point in that wood (currently the Kent & Sussex Hospital car park) was known as Culverden House. When Jacob Jeddere Fisher pulled down the old house and built himself another, in 1830, he named it Great Culverden. Great Culverden was once the residence of Charles Davis Lucas, who died there in 1914.^[1]

Today the grounds, Great Culverden Park, are virtually all that remains.
