Ferring is a village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is part of the built-up area of Worthing and is located on the A259 road three miles (5km) west of the town. The parish has a land area of 430.6 hectares (1064 acres). In the 2001 census 4361 people lived in 2179 households, of whom 1423 were economically active.

The site of the village is an ancient one: the name itself is Saxon; it is mentioned in the Domesday Book; the parish church is Norman, and is dedicated to St Andrew. Until the 1920s the village was a small one; when the south coast began to be built-up, particularly with holiday homes, Ferring began to increase in size.
