Chirbury (pronounced Churbury) is a village in Shropshire, England, situated close to the Wales-England border. It is about 3 miles east of Montgomery and 7 miles south of Welshpool, at the junction of the A490 and B4386 roads. Nearby is the River Camlad.

It forms, with the village of Brompton and a number of smaller settlements such as Priestweston and Wotherton, the Chirbury with Brompton civil parish, which according to the 2001 census had a population of 914.

The placename was recorded in 915 as Cyricbyrig in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and means "the fort with a church"[1].
