Kingston Gorse is a coastal hamlet in the Arun district of West Sussex, England. It lies south of the A27 road 3.4 miles (5.6km) east of Littlehampton.
It is most notable for being the place where murder victim Sarah Payne went missing from on 1 July 2000. Her body was found some 15 miles away at Pulborough two weeks later, and local resident Roy Whiting (already a convicted child abuser) was later sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder.
Sarah's grandparents were living in Kingston Gorse at the time, but have since moved to Devon.
