}}Kenley is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Shropshire. It is located in remote countryside, atop a ridge at around {{convert|180|m|ft}} above sea level. It is near the larger villages of Acton Burnell, about three miles to the north-west, and Harley, about two miles to the east. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 258.[1]

The name is probably formed from the Old English personal name Cenna with -ley, meaning a clearing in a wood.[2]

To the west are the hamlets of Ruckley and Langley, which form a separate civil parish.

The historian Archibald Alison and statistician William Farr were born in Kenley.
