Spellbrook is a small hamlet in East Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire, England, lying just south‑east of Bishop's Stortford near the border with Essex. It sits beside the River Stort and is surrounded by farmland and riverside meadows, giving it a tranquil, rural character despite good road links to nearby towns and Stansted Airport.

Historically the river and the Stort Navigation influenced local trade and milling, and today the area has more of a commuter and countryside leisure mix - many residents travel to Bishop's Stortford, Harlow or even London for work, while walkers and cyclists enjoy the riverside paths. Services in the hamlet itself are limited, so community life often revolves around neighbouring villages and towns, but Spellbrook is prized for its peace and easy access to both country and transport links.
