Shrewley is a hamlet in Warwickshire, in the parish of Hatton, about 5 miles north-west of Warwick. It consists of two parts, Little Shrewley, and Shrewley Common.

It has the Grand Union Canal, which passes through a tunnel and cutting which is a SSSI, London Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill railway and M40 motorway all running parallel and in close proximity at the south-western end of Shrewley Common. The hamlet has one pub, The Durham Ox, also in Shrewley Common, once well-known for its Marrow Sunday post-harvest celebration, steam fair and produce competition and auction.

Shrewley, as a hamlet, has no church, but until the 1990s had an independent chapel with a regular congregation.
