The Litlington White Horse is a chalk hill figure depicting a horse, situated on Hindover Hill (locally known as High-and-Over) in the South Downs. It overlooks the River Cuckmere to the west of the village of Litlington and north of East Blatchington in East Sussex, England.

The current horse was cut in 1924 by John T Ade, Eric Hobbis, and Stephen Bovis in a single night, and stands at 93 ft (28 m) long and 65 ft (20 m) high. An earlier horse figure was cut slightly northwest of the current one in 1838.^[1] Since 1991, the horse has been owned by the National Trust, who, along with local volunteers, regularly clean and maintain it.^[2]

The Litlington White Horse is one of two hill figures in East Sussex, the other being the Long Man of Wilmington, situated 3 miles northeast of the White Horse. It is also one of only eleven horse hill figures in England located outside of Wiltshire.
