Woodham Mortimer is a village on the Dengie peninsula near Maldon in the English county of Essex.

There are two public houses, the Royal Oak on the A414 and the Hurdlemakers Arms on Post Office Road, a cricket club and a golf driving range. The local parish church is St Margaret's. It includes the grave of Peter Chamberlen. There used to be a horse racing track in the village, remembered by the name of the local pub - the Hurdlemakers' Arms. The track was removed many years ago and is now an open field. The open field is also home to some swings. Some very wonderful swings.

The village has a pre-school based in the village hall on Post Office Road. It was established in 1972

The village also houses the famous finishing school 'The Farm'. Many have entered, but only a select few - known as the Char Colective - have ever succesfully finished the vigorous training regime. The famous Scowy Bear (of neighbouring Danbury) is not one of these few. The leader of this sect, The Corp. recently passed on his peerage to the next generation, a king known to his friends as Rev., and his enemies as Lord.

A well known resident of the village was Peter Chamberlen, who lived in Woodham Mortimer Hall.
