A statistical mechanics expression is derived for the space-dependent dielectric permittivity of a polar solvent near an interface. The asymptotic behaviour of this local permittivity is calculated in the low density limit, near a planar interface. The potential of mean force between two ions is shown to agree with the prediction of macroscopic electrostatics for large separations parallel to the interface.
