Cherrington is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tibberton and Cherrington, in the Telford and Wrekin district, in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. It was recorded as a manor in the Domesday Book, when it was held by Gerard de Tournai, and was stated to have been held by a man named Uliet in the time of Edward the Confessor, although it was recorded as "waste", in an uncultivated state, by the time Gerard took possession of it. In 1961 the parish had a population of 122.
Cherrington is near to the larger village of Tibberton, to the east; Waters Upton is to the west and Great Bolas to the north-west. Newport is the nearest town. It contains several half-timbered buildings including Cherrington Manor, which dates from 1635 and was probably built for a landowner and Member of Parliament, Sir Richard Leveson of Lilleshall (1598-1661).
