Pitsea is a suburban town forming the eastern part of Basildon in Essex, England. Pitsea was historically a separate village and parish. Pitsea was a small village until the first half of the 20th century, when it saw significant plotlands development. In 1949 the village was included in the designated area for the new town of Basildon, since when the area has seen further extensive development. It now forms part of the built up area of Basildon.
