In , an unparished area is an area that is not covered by a (the lowest level of local government, not to be confused with an ecclesiastical parish). Most districts of England are either entirely or partly unparished. Many towns and some cities in otherwise rural districts are also unparished areas and therefore no longer have a town council or city council, and are instead directly managed by a higher local authority such as a district or county council.

Until the mid-nineteenth century there had been many areas that did not belong to any parish, known as extra-parochial areas. Acts of Parliament between 1858 and 1868 sought to abolish such areas, converting them into parishes or absorbing them into neighbouring parishes. After 1868 there were very few extra-parochial areas left; those remaining were mostly islands, such as , which did not have a neighbouring parish into which they could be absorbed.

Modern unparished areas (also termed "non-civil parish areas"), were created in 1965 in London and in 1974 elsewhere. They generally arose where former urban districts, municipal boroughs or were abolished and where no was established. Parishes were not allowed in until the passing of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 (which allows their formation in the ) and it remained entirely unparished from 1965 until Queen's Park was created in 2014.

Some cities and towns which are unparished areas in larger districts (i.e. not districts of themselves) have to maintain a historic charter, such as city status (an example being in Bath) or simply the mayoralty of a town.
