Warsop is a civil parish in the district of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, England, centred on the large village of Market Warsop. It sits on the banks of the River Meden and lies close to the wooded remnants of Sherwood Forest, giving a mix of riverside and rural character alongside suburban development.

Historically a medieval settlement that grew through 19th‑ and 20th‑century coal mining, the parish’s economy and landscape were shaped by collieries until the later 20th century; many former industrial sites have since been reclaimed as green spaces or light industrial areas. Today Warsop retains a strong local identity with a market, parish church, community groups and small businesses, combining working‑class heritage with quieter commuter and rural lifestyles typical of the East Midlands.
