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 180 metres (590 ft) above sea level.

[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.
