Wysall is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It is 11 miles (18 km) south of Nottingham. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 321,[1] including Thorpe-on-the-Glebe and increasing to 431 at the 2011 census.[2] Wysall singularly reported 367 residents at the 2021 census.[3] Holy Trinity Church, Wysall is Norman, with a 13th century tower with spire and a 14th century chancel. The wooden ladder into the bell-chamber of the tower is also 13th century.[4]

Wysall is linked with the neighbouring village of Thorpe in the Glebe, and the two villages are run by Wysall and Thorpe in the Glebe Parish Council. Every summer, Wysall hosts the annual Strawberry Fair at the village hall.

The village is neighboured by the large village of Keyworth to the north, Widmerpool to the east, Willoughby on the Wolds to the south east, Wymeswold to the south and Costock to the south west. Wysall is one of the Thankful Villages – those rare places that suffered no fatalities during the Great War of 1914 to 1918.
