Habin Bridge is a medieval stone bridge located in Sussex, England. The bridge dates from the medieval period and survives as a structure of local historical importance within its landscape setting. As a crossing point of established antiquity, it reflects the pattern of medieval infrastructure development in the Sussex Weald and the communication networks that connected settlements and manorial lands during the medieval centuries. The bridge represents the type of modest stone construction typical of secondary crossings in the English countryside, built to serve local traffic and agricultural movement rather than major routes.
