Hatch Park is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) near Mersham and Brabourne, five miles (8 km) from Ashford in Kent, England (grid reference TR063410).
The site is of special interest for its unimproved acidic grassland, a scarce habitat in Kent, with its ancient pollarded woodlands, supporting the richest epiphytic lichen community in the county. The grassland is the remnant of a formerly much more extensive deerpark, and the turf here is believed to have remained unbroken for the last 500 years. The deerpark still exists but on a smaller scale, including some artificial ponds and marshy areas.
