Pembury is a large village in the county of Kent in the south-east of England, UK, with a population of around 7000. It lies just to the north of the town of Tunbridge Wells. There have been settlements in the area since at least Saxon times in the 1000s, the name 'Pembury' deriving from the Saxon 'Pepingburh' or 'Pepingeberia'. The village church is estimated to have been at least initially built in the 11th century.

The British Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes is one of many locals to have been born at Pembury Hospital.
