Trowell is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It lies a few miles west of Nottingham, in the borough of Broxtowe. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 2,568 [ [http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=3&b=798385&c=Trowell&d=16&e=15&g=478402&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1206882324581&enc=1&dsFamilyId=779 "Area: Trowell CP (Parish)"] ]

The main road through the village is the A609 between Nottingham and Ilkeston and A6007 from nearby Stapleford. The M1 motorway also passes through the village, and the Trowell Motorway Services lie just to the north. Most of the village lies between the River Erewash (Derbyshire boundary) and Nottingham Canal.

Trowell was selected as the "Festival Village" for the 1951 Festival of Britain, as a typical example of British rural life. The parish church is St Helen. The village pub is The Festival Inn on Ilkeston Road (A609).
