Wappenbury is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire, located on the north bank of the River Leam. The nearest town is Leamington Spa, about 5 miles (8 km) to the south west.

Wappenbury was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Its lord was Geoffrey of la Guerche, and it had a population of 31 households; resources included woodland. The woodland remains, in the north of the parish, where there are two nature reserves.

Much of the village, including the parish church of St John the Baptist, lies within the remains of an Iron Age hillfort.
