Southbourne is a village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. It lies to the east of Emsworth, the west of Nutbourne and south-east of Westbourne.
Southbourne has a small railway station on the West Coastway Line between Southampton and Brighton. It is home to Bourne Community College, which takes secondary pupils from around the area, along with leisure and library facilities which serve surrounding villages and settlements. The A259 road, formerly designated A27 and the main coast route until the construction of a new dual carriageway, runs through the village.
The village encompasses various residential areas and an industrial estate populated mainly with metal work outlets. The area facing the south coast is known as Prinsted with some beautiful thatched roof properties.
