Whixall is a small and rural village and civil parish in North Shropshire, Shropshire, England. The nearest towns are Whitchurch, to the north, and Wem, to the south.

The parish lies on the border with the county borough of Wrexham, Wales. Its close proximity to Wales is shown by a hamlet called "Welsh End".

Within the parish boundaries is another village - Dobson's Bridge. The Llangollen Canal of the Shropshire Union Canal, as well as the short Prees Branch, run through the parish.
