North Benfleet is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Bowers Gifford and North Benfleet, in the Basildon borough of Essex, England, located between the towns of Basildon to the west and Thundersley to the east. It adjoins the small village of Bowers Gifford and is adjacent to the town of South Benfleet. In 1931 the parish had a population of 560.[1] On 1 January 1937 the parish was abolished to form Billericay.[2]

The Church of All Saints is to the north of the village, about 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) north of the A13 main road and just south of the A127. Although it had fallen into disrepair after many years of disuse, it was returned to regular use in March 2013 by the Orthodox Church,[3] and now has weekly services.
