Kempsey is a village and civil parish located in the Malvern Hills District of Worcestershire, England. The River Severn forms its western boundary, while the A38 main road passes directly through the settlement, placing it roughly 3 miles (5 km) south of Worcester.

The parish church of St. Mary was constructed between the 12th and 15th centuries, with its tower—built in the 15th century—standing 82 feet (25 m) tall. The composer Sir Edward Elgar resided in Kempsey from 1923 to 1927, during which he held the title of Master of the King’s Music. The village also has several public houses, including one named in honour of Bishop Walter de Cantilupe.

Today, Kempsey is a relatively large village. It is home to The Lawns Nursing Home and features recreational spaces such as Kempsey Playing Fields and Park, located at the top of Plovers Rise. Kempsey Common lies beyond the M5, past Bestmans Lane. The community centre sits along the main road.
