Wivenhoe ( WIV-ən-hoh) is a town and civil parish in the City of Colchester district of Essex, England. It lies approximately 3 miles (5 km) south-east of Colchester. The historic core of Wivenhoe stands on the left bank of the River Colne, which is tidal at this point. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 7,586 and the built up area had a population of 7,350. The town's history centres on fishing, ship building and smuggling. Much of lower Wivenhoe is also a designated conservation area, with many streets being of particular architectural interest. The urban area has grown up the hill away from the river to absorb the formerly separate hamlet of Wivenhoe Cross on the higher ground to the north-east.
