Meole Brace, sometimes known locally as simply Meole /ˈməl/ MEE-əl (pronounced like meal), is a south-western suburb of Shrewsbury, in the civil parish of Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, England.

The Rea Brook, a tributary of the River Severn, flows through the area. The brook was in the past known as the "Meole Brook".

Meole Village is the name used locally for the older part of Meole Brace, which was originally a village outside Shrewsbury. It still retains a village feel, though it is surrounded by newer urban development. This older settlement lies on the route of a Roman road and could be older than the town of Shrewsbury.

Nearby are the small villages of Nobold and Pulley.
