The SP postcode area, also known as the Salisbury postcode area,[2] is a group of eleven postcode districts in southern England, within six post towns. These cover south Wiltshire (including Salisbury and Tidworth) and parts of north Dorset (including Gillingham and Shaftesbury) and west Hampshire (including Andover and Fordingbridge).

The letters in the postcode refer to the Salisbury Plain, a plateau within the postcode area.
