The Shelsleys is an area in the Malvern Hills District of Worcestershire, England. The area straddles the River Teme near the village of Clifton upon Teme. The Shelsleys appear to have anciently been comprised in one territory, but fragmented into separate manors and parishes in medieval times. Shelsley Beauchamp and Shelsley Walsh had both become parishes by the 13th century. Shelsley Kings was part of the parish of Shelsley Beauchamp until 1866 when it became a separate civil parish, whilst remaining part of the ecclesiastical parish of Shelsley Beauchamp.
The two ecclesiastical parishes of Shelsley Beauchamp and Shelsley Walsh were merged into a new ecclesiastical parish called The Shelsleys in 1972. For civil purposes, Shelsley Beauchamp, Shelsley Kings, and Shelsley Walsh remain three separate civil parishes, but they now share a grouped parish council.
At the 2021 census, the populations of the three civil parishes were 238 in Shelsley Beauchamp, 189 in Shelsley Kings and 31 in Shelsley Walsh, giving a total population of 458 for the area served by The Shelsleys Parish Council.
