Hopesay Hill is a minor hill in Shropshire, at least minor for that county; it rises to the east of the village of Hopesay from which it has its name, west of Craven Arms.

Several streams have their springs on this hill, and the summit is marshy.

The scarp slope is to the west, facing Hopesay, and this side of the hill makes up Hopesay Common, which is owned by the National Trust. On Hopesay Common is a subsidiary top of 932 feet, at SO399834.

The Shropshire Way long-distance footpath runs over the hill and the subsidiary top.
