North Ambersham is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Fernhurst, in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. Until 1844 North Ambersham was a detached part of Hampshire and was a tithing of the parish of Steep. Under the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1832 (2 & 3 Will. 4. c. 64) and the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 (7 & 8 Vict. c. 61), it was annexed to Sussex. For ecclesiastical purposes this tithing was attached to Fernhurst. In 1866 North Ambersham became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1972 the parish was abolished and merged with Fernhurst. In 1971 the parish had a population of 176.
