Dunton Green is a small village and civil parish in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England. lying in the valley of the River Darent, three miles north of Sevenoaks. The original ecclesiastical parish of Dunton Green was part of Otford parish. The parish church is dedicated to St John the Divine.
From at least the 17th century, Dunton Green was a centre for making bricks and tiles. In 1862 the Dunton Green Brick, Tile and Pottery Works was established: a large concern with clayholes or pits, kilns and an engine house. Whilst digging for clay many fossils were discovered. The village church (dedicated to St John) is built with local bricks. An idependent Free church remains active within the village having been established in 1873 - Dunton Green Free Church in Station Road.
It has a railway station, which at one time was a junction for a small branch line to Westerham, opened in 1881. That line closed, and the trackbed now lies beneath the M25 motorway.
