Parrish is an unincorporated community in Cave Township, Franklin County, Illinois, United States.

The community is located near Illinois Route 34 3.2 miles (5.1 km) west-northwest of Thompsonville.

The town, which consisted of roughly 250 residents and 40 buildings at the time, suffered a 27% casualty rate and lost all but three of its buildings: one house, the Primitive Methodist Church, and the Parrish School.

As the tornado destroyed all of the town's means of outside communication, the disaster was only discovered by a passing Illinois Central train, which returned to Thompsonville to notify the surrounding towns.
