St Osyth Heath is a hamlet in the civil parish of St Osyth, in the Tendring district, in the county of Essex, England. Until the mid-1900s, The Heath was a thriving community with shops, various self-employed tradesman and The Beehive Public House. Today all this has disappeared, with the pub now converted into an Indian Restaurant. The Bareham family were the local butchers, whilst the Beales were hurdle and broom makers.

The Methodist Chapel at St Osyth Heath, was erected in 1898 by the Beales family at cost of £155, a wooden building and affords sittings for 60 persons. Both families like the rest of the community eventually moved into the main village of St Osyth.
