Westmeston is a hamlet and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is located six miles (10 km) west of Lewes, on the northern slopes of the South Downs.

The nearest shops lie to the west in the village of Ditchling.

The parish church is dedicated to St Martin and dates from the 12th and 14th centuries, with later additions and restorations. The nave was built soon after 1100, and the original north doorway remains. The ecclesiastical parish is also joined with Streat.
