Lower Penn is a village in South Staffordshire, situated to the south-west of Wolverhampton, West Midlands.

The Civil Parish covers the area of the historic Parish of Penn that is not now covered by the city of Wolverhampton and thus covers a wider area than that immediately surrounding the village. Part of the parish is considered by the ONS to be part of the Wolverhampton sub-area of the West Midlands conurbation.

Lower Penn has a village hall known as Victory Hall, and a pub/restaurant, The Greyhound.{{Cite web |date=2020-01-15 |title=When The Post Office Was The Heart of The Community |url=https://www.pressreader.com/uk/black-country-bugle/20200115/281556587773342 |access-date=2023-10-03 |website=Black Country Bugle}}
