Saint Hill Manor is a Grade II listed country house at Saint Hill Green, near East Grinstead in West Sussex, England. It was constructed in 1792 and had several notable owners before being purchased by L. Ron Hubbard and becoming the British headquarters of the Church of Scientology.

In 2024 Scientology asked Mid Sussex District Council to put in place a PSPO to prohibit public protest outside the property. Protest organiser Alexander Barnes-Ross said this was a "direct threat to [ex-Scientologists] freedom of speech and right to protest". The district council scrutiny committee decided that the issue should be consulted on by the cabinet. Observations by the Council and the Police will be made during the International Association of Scientologists event to be held on 25 October 2024.[1]
