Lower Upnor and Upper Upnor are two small villages in Medway, Kent, England.

- Upnor

It rises in the High Weald, East Sussex and flows through Tonbridge, Maidstone and the Medway conurbation in Kent, before emptying into the Thames Estuary near Sheerness, a total distance of 70 mi. About 13 mi of the river lies in East Sussex, with the remainder being in Kent.

- River Medway

They are in the parish of Frindsbury Extra on the western bank of the River Medway.

- Upnor

Because of its strategic location by the major crossing of the River Medway, it has made a wide and significant contribution to Kent, and to England, dating back thousands of years, as evident in the siting of Watling Street by the Romans and by the Norman Rochester Castle, Rochester Cathedral (the second oldest in Britain) and the Chatham naval dockyard and its associated defences.

- Medway

Frindsbury Extra including Upnor borders Strood.

The illustrations include the castles at Queenborough, Upnor, Leybourne, Tonbridge and Hever; Penshurst Place; and the bridges at Teston, Maidstone, Aylesford, East Farleigh, Barming, Branbridges and Tonbridge.
