Mountfield is a village and civil parish in the Rother District of East Sussex three miles (4.8 km) north-west of Battle. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
In the 17th century Gypsum was discovered here, and the ore is now mined; the mine is connected by rail to the Hastings Line which runs nearby, and whereby it is shipped out. A halt for Mountfield closed on 6 October 1969.
The parish church is dedicated to All Saints; Mountfield and Whatlington Church of England Primary School is located at the road junction known as Johns Cross on the A21 and the A2100 roads further north.
