Climping (also spelt as Clymping) is a village and civil parish containing agricultural and natural sandy land in the Arun District of West Sussex, England.

The parish church, dedicated to St Mary, dates from 1080, and is teamed with those of Yapton and Ford under one vicar.

[3] Fringing the coast towards the River Arun and Littlehampton are the Climping sand dunes, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which includes areas of rare vegetated shingle.

A windmill here predates the mid-18th century and survives, unused for wind power, bereft of its sails but kept up and lived in.

At the suppression of alien houses in around 1415 by Henry V, the confiscated monastic properties of Atherington were given to Syon Abbey in London.
