Clee St. Margaret is an upland hamlet and civil parish in the Clee Hills area of Shropshire, England.

There is a 900 year old parish church and a village hall but no pub, despite the hamlet boasting five pubs earlier during the height of the quarrying on nearby Brown Clee Hill. Historically the settlement also had a shop, a Methodist Chapel, a school and a post office. The current population of the parish of Clee St. Margaret, which includes the settlements of Cockshutford and Cold Weston, is 134.

Clee St. Margaret is seven miles north east (about a fifteen-minute drive) from the market town of Ludlow.

Clee Brook passes through the settlement as a 50 m long, shallow ford.

Local land use includes two small vineyards and extensive sheep grazing.
