Burntwood is a former mining town and civil parish in the Lichfield District of Staffordshire, England.

In July 2009 a Burntwood man, Terry Herbert, discovered a hoard of Saxon treasure with a metal detector in a field in the adjoining village of Hammerwich.

National Express West Midlands operate service 8 (previously 10A) to Lichfield also linking Brownhills and Walsall.

In 2015, Lichfield District Council released a transport plan for Burntwood mentioning that if the line reopens to passenger services, there could be a chance of a new station to serve the town.
