Copthorne is a suburb located in the western side of the county town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.

On the east side of the suburb, Copthorne Road leads from Frankwell Island, to the west up Copthorne Bank, along past the remnant of Copthorne Barracks (former headquarters of the British Army's 5th Division and 143 (West Midlands) Brigade and current headquarters of Shrewsbury Air Training Corps and the Shropshire Army Cadet Force) and the Copthorne Keep housing development that has been built on most of the barracks site,[2] and also ends up joining the old bypass at Shelton Road.

Furthermore, on Mytton Oak Road, near the Hospital, there is the Copthorne Shopping Centre.

This small development consists of a post office, Co-op supermarket, pharmacy, fish and chip shop, hairdresser and Coral (Bookmakers).

Shrewsbury Town Football Club twice had their ground in Copthorne; on Ambler's Field 1889-93 and, after an interval in Sutton Lane, Sutton Farm, on the so-called Barracks Ground (south of Copthorne Barracks) 1895-1910 before their move to the Gay Meadow.
