Epsom is a town in the county of Surrey, about 15 miles south-west of London. Epsom is part of Epsom and Ewell Borough Council.

Each June, it is the home of the Epsom Derby horse race, the second leg of the English Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

Historically, Epsom was known as a spa town, although there is little to see nowadays.

Epsom salts are named after the town.
