Warley is a suburb of Brentwood in south Essex. It is situated to the east of the town.

Warley is home to the British headquarters of Ford Motor Company.

It is also home to a new development of houses situated on the former site of Warley Hospital, called Clements Park. The development includes a range of house styles modelled around local themes, such as the former water tower that supplied the local area. It also includes the former hospital chapel that has now been converted to flats.

There is also a district council polling ward by the same name 'Warley', which takes in Great and Little Warley, Childerditch and the Woodman Road/Hartswood area of Brentwood. Traditionally it has been a Liberal Democrat-Conservative marginal, which won brief fame in 2007 after it elected the youngest ever councillor in Britain, at eighteen years of age.

Also, there is a mental hospital in Warley, known as Mascalls Park Mental Hospital although this is likely to close down in the near future under new NHS proposals to relocate the unit to the site of Oldchurch Hospital in Romford. [1].
