Greenwich is a small, quiet community located in northeastern Piute County, Utah, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.

Greenwich is found just east of the beautiful Fishlake National Forest. It sits along State Route 62. This road is northeast of the town of Junction, which is the main town in Piute County. Greenwich is quite high up, at 6,854 feet (2,089 meters) above sea level. Even though it's unincorporated, Greenwich has its own post office and a ZIP code, which is 84732. The name Greenwich is thought to be an English version of an older Native American name.
