Prees is a village and civil parish in north Shropshire, near the border between England and Wales. Its name is Celtic and means "brushwood".

Near to the village of Prees, but not in the village as the name would suggest, is the railway station of Prees. It lies on the Welsh Marches Line, between Whitchurch and Wem. Not all passenger services stop here and those that do only do on a request basis.

Prees is northeast of the small town of Wem, which is the administrative headquarters of North Shropshire district (which Prees is part of). It is also west of Market Drayton and south of Whitchurch. It is situated on a river which is a tributary of the River Severn.

The A41 and A49 roads pass on either side of the village.
