Upper Sapey is a small village and civil parish in the county of Herefordshire, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles (10 km) north-east of the market town of Bromyard and 14 miles (23 km) north-west of the city of Hereford. The parish includes the hamlet of Lower Sapey.
The village lies in the valley of the River Teme, near the border with Worcestershire. The local geology consists largely of Old Red Sandstone, with the surrounding landscape characterized by rolling hills and agricultural land.
The Church of England parish church of St. Mary is a Grade II* listed building. Parts of the structure date from the 12th century, though the building underwent significant restoration in the 19th century. The church features a timber-framed bellcote and a Norman doorway.
Historically, Upper Sapey was part of the upper division of the hundred of Doddingtree. In the 19th century, the parish was described as primarily agricultural, with hops being a notable crop. The population has remained small; the 2011 Census recorded a population of 71 for the civil parish.
The village has limited local amenities. There is no longer a shop or post office within the village, and public transport links are infrequent. The nearest primary schools and services are located in nearby villages such as Brockhampton or the town of Bromyard.
