New Barn is a small residential area composed of village and civil parish, located in the county of Kent, England. The civil parish’s official name is Longfield and New Barn within the District of Dartford. It’s located in the southeastern part of England, but not right on the water.

This village is surrounded by open fields and is 6.4 kilometres southwest of Gravesend. New Barn is beside Longfield, also a village and civil parish, but is a bit larger. Istead Rise is located to the northeast, and Meopham to the southeast. New Barn is a residential area with few amenities so people travel to Longfield.

There are conflicting reports of population census figures due to differing boundaries included. As of 2001, it was approximately 3100 for the village and 4866 for the parish.
