The Wrekin is a hill in east Shropshire, England. It is located some 7 km (4 miles) west of Telford, on the border between the boroughs of Shrewsbury and Atcham and Telford and Wrekin. Rising to a height of 407 metres (1335 ft) above the Shropshire Plain, it is a prominent and well-known landmark, marking the entrance to Shropshire for westbound travellers.

The name The Wrekin is also used to refer more generally to the part of East Shropshire around the towns of Telford and Wellington, within sight of the hill. The area is rich in geology and is one of the birthplaces of industry: Ironbridge Gorge is just to the south of The Wrekin hill. Woodland covers much of the hill, the area around the hill and into the Ironbridge Gorge area too.
