Wendens Ambo is a village in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England.

Remains of a villa were found during an excavation in 1853, and finds of flint tools from 300–200 BC suggest an even earlier settlement.

Wenden Magna was owned by Robert Gernon (or Greno) a Norman who also had land in Stansted and Takeley.
