Sprockhoevel has about 26,400 residents and lies in the Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Zeche Alte Haase, a former coal mine, is preserved as an industrial monument. The municipality lacks a defined town centre, instead spreading across several villages along connecting roads. The wooded hills between the Ruhr and Ennepe valleys characterise the terrain.
Hattingen is to the north. Gevelsberg lies to the south. Wuppertal borders to the east. Schwelm is nearby to the southeast. Bochum is about 15 kilometres north. Sprockhoevel sits on the watershed between the Ruhr and Ennepe drainage basins. The scattered settlement pattern reflects the municipality's origins in separate farming communities.
