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. The track was removed many years ago and is now an open field.
The local pub, the Hurdlemaker's Arms is not related to the race track, but refers to the hurdles which used to be made from materials cut in the nearby woods.
The village has a pre-school based in the village hall on Post Office Road. It was established in 1972
A well known resident of the village was Peter Chamberlen, who lived in Woodham Mortimer Hall.
