Bagley is an area of Shrewsbury, county town of Shropshire. It is part urban, part rural and extends out from the town centre in a northwest direction. It includes Coton Hill, Greenfields and Gravelhill. The Shropshire Agricultural Showground is located between Coton Hill and Gravelhill.
Currently it is a Shrewsbury and Atcham borough council ward and a Shropshire county council electoral district (which is a larger area and includes the town centre of Shrewsbury).
It is named so because of the Bagley Brook which once flowed into the River Severn in the area, between where Coton Hill and the town centre now meet, on Chester Street.
