Everleigh, pronounced and also sometimes spelt Everley, is a village and civil parish in east Wiltshire, England, about 4+12 miles (7 km) southeast of the town of Pewsey, towards the northeast of Salisbury Plain.

The village is also known as East Everleigh, to distinguish it from the hamlet of Lower Everleigh which lies about 1 mile (1.6 km) further west on the A342 road that connects Andover and Devizes. The village is surrounded by land known as Everleigh Drop Zone, owned by the Ministry of Defence that is used for military training as part of the Salisbury Plain Training Area.[2]
