Landermere Wharf, sometimes called Landermere Quay, is a former dock area suitable for lying at anchor in the Tendring district of Essex, England.{{cite web |url=http://unlockingessex.essexcc.gov.uk/uep/custom_pages/monument_detail.asp?content_page_id=89&monument_id=40352&content_parents=61,80 |title=Landermere Wharf Area |publisher=Essex County Council |accessdate=25 February 2015}}{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-616000-222000/page/20 |title=Landermere Creek and Quay |publisher=BBC |work=Domesday Reloaded |year=1986 |accessdate=25 February 2015}}

The wharf was first used in the Elizabethan era, and was sold in 1760 to Richard Rigby. The main cargo was coal, corn and Scandinavian wood. The area had a tide mill in 1292, which was rebuilt in 1493, but no trace remains now.{{cite book |page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Hwl1Tefe1q4C/page/n25 26] |url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Hwl1Tefe1q4C |title=Essex Coastline: Then and Now |author=M.P.B.

In 1954 resident artists Eduardo Paolozzi and Nigel Henderson (artist) established Hammer Prints Limited, which traded their designs for wallpapers, textiles and ceramics from premises there until 1975.

It is now primarily a small residential hamlet in the administrative area of Thorpe-le-Soken.
