Lickey is a "linear development" in the north of Worcestershire, England approximately 10 miles (16 km) south west from the centre of Birmingham.

The Birmingham-born watercolourist Elijah Walton (1832–1880) lived at Beacon Farm in Lickey towards the end of his life, and died there in 1880.

The area was populated rapidly from the 1870s onwards by professionals and industrialists such as Herbert Austin, who moved to Lickey Grange in 1910 and lived there until his death in 1941.

The Monument, a 60–80 ft tall obelisk, is situated behind the trees bordering the old Birmingham road directly opposite the petrol station in Lickey.

The nearest railway station is Longbridge in Rubery with a frequent West Midlands Trains service to Birmingham New Street.
