Peover Superior is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Peover Superior and Snelson,[2] in the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is described by the Office for National Statistics as a village surrounded by inhabited countryside.[3] The civil parish included the village of Over Peover and the hamlet of Peover Heath.

Peover Superior is named after The Peover Eye river, which forms one of the parish boundaries. There is also a nearby village named Peover Inferior; the two areas are so named due to their standing on the river, with Peover Superior being higher up and Peover Inferior lower down on the river.[4]
