Netteswell is a suburb of Harlow in Essex, England. Until the mid-20th century, Netteswell was a rural parish with a number of small settlements and scattered houses, with the two main settlements being Netteswell Cross in the north and Tye Green in the south. The parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, stood adjoining the manor house of Netteswellbury in the centre of the parish. In 1947, Netteswell was included in the designated area for the new town of Harlow. The area has since then been substantially developed. The civil parish of Netteswell was abolished in 1955, when the area was absorbed into Harlow's administrative boundaries. The name Netteswell is now used for one of the wards of Harlow, covering a smaller area than the pre-1955 parish. At the 2021 census, the ward had a population of 8,412.
