Fair Snape Fell is one of the larger hills in the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, England. It occupies a position in the very south of the range alongside and just to the north of Parlick. The main paths approach the summit from the Parlick in the south, Saddle Fell in the east and Bleasdale to the west, the Saddle Fell approach being as boggy as the hills to the north. The summit is covered in grass and peat groughs. A trig point and large cairn occupy the top of the western escarpment, with the highest point being about 700 metres (half a mile) to the north-east.
A geocache is located near the summit.
The word snape means "pasture", thus Fair Snape Fell means "fell of the fair (beautiful) pasture".
