Terling is a village in the county of Essex, England, between the town Witham and the villages of Great Leighs and Hatfield Peverel. The village was mentioned in the Domesday book and, in 1991 had a population of 741. A church (C of E) and a single public house: previously being The Rayleigh Arms (Lord Rayleigh being the title of the head of the Strutt family who live at Terling Place, the main house in the village), now called Rileys the public house is part restaurant and part public house. The village is comprised of two main areas, Terling and Gambles Green. The latter is a mixture of old properties and newer buildings. The village name is pronounced 'Ter-ling' or 'Tar-ling'. This is the topic of many good natured disputes!

Since 2002 it has been the location of the Terling International Trifle Competition, held each year in September.
