The Litlington White Horse is a chalk hill figure depicting a horse, situated on Hindover Hill (known locally as High-and-Over) in the South Downs, looking over 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. A previous horse was previously cut slightly north-west of the current horse in either 1838 or 1860.[1] Since 1991, the horse has been owned by the National Trust, who, along with local volunteers, regularly clean and maintain the horse.[2]

The Litlington White Horse is one of two hill figures in East Sussex; the other being the Long Man of Wilmington which is situated 3 miles north-east of the White Horse. The horse is one of only eleven horse hill figures in England situated outside of Wiltshire.
