Iwade is a small village on the north side of Detling Hill, close to the town of Sittingbourne in Kent, England. With quick access to the M2 & M20 motorways, as well as within a short driving distance to Maidstone, and further Canterbury & Faversham.

Surrounded by countryside it is currently being developed with luxury housing and small retail units, centered around the original Kentish village and historic 'All Saints' Church.

The village is characterized by green spaces and the local architectural style. Though small it has a primary school, nursery, health center, village hall, village pub & post office/village shop as well as a number of small shops and salons.

It is widely said that the village got its name because of the frequent flooding that would occur, but this is possibly apocryphal.

The village has a daily coach service to London, enhancing its popularity with commuters.

Iwade is the nearest settlement to Swale railway station.

It also features the speedway team Sittingbourne Crusaders who race in the third tier of the British Leagues.
