Sutton Coldfield or the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, known locally as Sutton (/ˌsʌtən ˈkɒldfiəld/ ),[3][4] is a town and civil parish in the City of Birmingham, West Midlands, England. The town lies around 8 miles northeast of Birmingham, 9 miles south of Lichfield, 7 miles southwest of Tamworth and 7 miles east of Walsall.

Sutton Coldfield and its surrounding suburbs are governed under Birmingham City Council for local government purposes but the town has its own town council which governs the town and its surrounding areas by running local services and electing a mayor to the council. It is in the historic county of Warwickshire, and in 1974 it became part of Birmingham and the West Midlands metropolitan county under the Local Government Act 1972.
