Hockley Heath is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, West Midlands, England. It is one of the Arden villages which later became a convenient stopping off point for users of the Stratford-on-Avon Canal. The parish is to the south of the West Midlands conurbation, and apart from the large village of Hockley Heath itself (which is at the extreme south-eastern corner of the parish), includes Cheswick Green, Dickens Heath, Tidbury Green, Salter Street, and Whitlock's End. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 6,771.

The village of Hockley Heath was formed as a horse changing point on the 25 mile journey between Birmingham and Stratford Upon Avon. A public house called "The Nag's Head" stands in the place where the stables are thought to have once stood.
