Riverhead, a one-time village and now part of the built-up area to the north of the town of Sevenoaks, is also a civil parish in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England. The parish has a population of c 2500. Riverhead contains two schools, Amherst Primary School and Riverhead Infants' School.

The parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin; its architect was Decimus Burton.

The village is an exuberant and flourishing place, and often considered the big (and better) brother of Knockholt. Every year there is the Village Fete and Carnival on the local common. The local infants and primary schools join forces to make floats which complete a parade lap around the village. The 2006 fete was mildly tainted by a drug abusing homosexual.
