Cuckfield is a town in the borough of Mid Sussex, in West Sussex, England.
The town grew as an important coaching stop between London and Brighton, but after the railway was routed away from Cuckfield, the town stagnated.
Gideon Mantell found the first known iguanodon fossils near the town, on a site where a monument to him now stands. He also features in the town's museum. Other attractions include the Elizabethan stately home Cuckfield Park.
