Felsted (sometimes spelt Felstead) is a village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England.

Felsted is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Felesteda, Felstede and Phensteda in the Hundred of Hinckford, where it was held by Earl Ælfgar as feu in the time of King Edward.

[2] The fifth hide was no longer in this manor as King William gave three virgates to Roger God-save-the-ladies and the fourth to Geoffrey fitzSalomon.

The valley between Little Dunmow and Felsted was the location for the only sugar beet factory in Essex, which has been redeveloped for housing in a community called Flitch Green.

It lies on the north bank of the River Chelmer as it leaves Great Dunmow and turns south towards Chelmsford.
