Sheepy is a rural civil parish in Hinckley and Bosworth, Leicestershire, England, centred on the small villages of Sheepy Magna and Sheepy Parva. It lies amid rolling farmland close to the county boundary with Warwickshire and not far from Twycross, giving a landscape of hedgerows, lanes and traditional farmsteads.
The parish has medieval roots visible in its historic church and older cottages, and agriculture has long shaped the local economy, though many people now commute to nearby towns such as Hinckley and Nuneaton. Social life tends to revolve around village institutions - the church, local pubs and occasional fetes and community groups - preserving a close-knit rural character alongside modern living.
