Upton upon Severn (or locally simply Upton) is a small riverside town and civil parish in the Malvern Hills District of Worcestershire, England. Lying on the A4104 (formerly A440), the town recorded a population of 2,903 in the 2021 census.
Upton is situated on the west bank of the River Severn and is located 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Malvern. The town has a distinctive tower and copper-clad cupola — known locally as the "Pepperpot" — the only surviving remnant of the former church. The church's replacement, also dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield.
