Ketley is a civil parish in Shropshire that forms a suburb of the new town of Telford. The civil parish originates as the township of the ancient parish of Wellington.

Ketley was formerly the home of Ketley Iron works. William Reynolds (the ironmaster of said works in the late 18th century) undertook the construction of three tub-boat canals: the Wombridge Canal, the Ketley Canal and the Shropshire Canal with the first successful inclined planes in Great Britain.

Immediately to the north of Ketley is Hadley.

The Shropshire Star newspaper is published in Ketley.
