Bean is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Dartford in Kent, England. The village, the centre of the parish, is about three miles east of Dartford town centre. The parish is bounded on the north by the A2 road (the Roman Watling Street), and on the other three sides by ancient woodlands. It is the most recently formed of Kent parishes, although the village itself has been recorded since at least the 13th Century.
The parish church is dedicated to St Nicholas. The parish had a population of 1,709 according to the 2001 census, although a 1986 proposal, since scrapped, would have led to one of 5000 persons.
