Hopesay is a small village, and civil parish, in south Shropshire, England. The population of the parish at the 2011 census was 561.
The name 'Hopesay' derives from "Hope de Say", the valley of Picot de Say, a Norman baron who held the manor of neighbouring Sibdon Carwood and whose power base was the nearby Clun Castle. Though most of the Norman influence has been lost, the church tower does date back to Norman times.
