The SY postcode area, also known as the Shrewsbury postcode area,[2] is a group of 25 postcode districts in the West Midlands and Mid Wales, with small areas in North West England and North Wales. Together the districts cover most of Shropshire, north Powys, north Ceredigion, and part of south Cheshire. In addition, the SY7 and SY8 districts cover a small part of north Herefordshire, and the SY14 and SY20 districts also contain very small parts of Gwynedd and Wrexham County Borough respectively. The postcode area contains 32 post towns.

Mail for the SY postcode area is processed at Chester Mail Centre, along with mail for the CH and LL postcode areas.
