Sedgley is a town in the north of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, in the West Midlands, England.^[2][3]

Historically part of Staffordshire,^[4] Sedgley is on the A459 road between Wolverhampton and Dudley, and was formerly the seat of an ancient manor comprising several smaller villages, including Gornal, Gospel End, Woodsetton, Ettingshall, Coseley, and Brierley (now Bradley). In 1894, the manor was split to create the Sedgley and Coseley urban districts,^[5] the bulk of which were later merged into the Dudley County Borough in 1966.^[4]

Most of Sedgley was absorbed into an expanded County Borough of Dudley in 1966, with some parts being incorporated into Seisdon and Wolverhampton. Since 1974 it has been part of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley.
