Westbury is a village and parish in Shropshire, England. It lies 8 miles west of the town of Shrewsbury, very close to the Wales-England border.

During the Roman settlement of Britain it was an outpost of Wroxeter.

In 2005, Westbury parish expanded with the annexation of half of the former Wollaston parish.
