Purslow is a hamlet in south Shropshire, England. It is located on the B4368 between the towns of Clun and Craven Arms.

Purslow was originally a hundred and there is a pub in the village called the "Hundred House". There is also a manor house which has existed in some form since the twelfth century. It is believed the name originally comes from the naming of 'Pusse's barrow'. A coat of arms exists for the Purslow family.

Sited in Purslow is a war memorial to commemorate those fallen.

Although a tiny settlement, the annual summer Purslow Sports and Show attracts visitors (and relies on organisers) from all over the area. Highlights are a run up Clunbury Hill and the produce tent, where exhibitors compete for prizes in horticulture, cookery and handicrafts.

The hamlet forms part of the civil parish of Clunbury, a nearby village.
