Tendring is a village and civil parish in Essex. It gives its name to the Tendring District and before that Tendring Rural District and before that the Tendring Hundred.[2] Its name was given to the larger groupings because it was at the centre, not because it was larger than the other settlements. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 748.

The 1086 Domesday Book records the name as Tenderinga and in 1242 the Pipe Rolls mention it as Terring.[3]

The linear village straddles the B1035 from Manningtree to Thorpe-le-Soken.[4]

The parish includes the settlements of Goose Green, Tendring Green and Tendring Heath. The church is dedicated to St Edmund. The Tendring Union Workhouse was located at Tendring Heath.[5] In 1948 the workhouse was converted into an NHS geriatric hospital, which closed in the 1980s.
