Linch is a civil parish in West Sussex. It is a small hamlet 3 miles north of Stedham, 5 miles north-west from Midhurst. In the Domesday Book it was called Lince.
It has an 18th century church dedicated to St Luke.

The medieval parish of Linch consisted of 2 parts -
the main settlement was round the church, whose site is now marked by Linch Farm, and extending on to the Downs which rise steeply above it to the south; entirely separate and distant some 7 miles to the north, and stretching northwards for 2 miles to reach the Hampshire border, was the Wealden outlier of the manor, probably corresponding to the 'woodland yielding 10 swine' in 1086.

The parish was never populous:
in 1428 there were only 6 householders plus the rector.
