Fordbridge is a town[1] and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, in the West Midlands, England.

The village of Kingshurst borders the town at the western point of Cooks Lane.

A significant part of the town borders the City of Birmingham district to the east.

Fordbridge gets its name from the crossing over the River Cole on Cooks Lane, which was referred to as "Ford Bridge" on 19th century OS maps.

[3] This name suggests this site was previously a ford, but eventually a bridge was built on the site of that ford, thus giving the bridge and ultimately the civil parish its name.
