Fazeley is a small town on the outskirts of Tamworth, Staffordshire in England, although it is part of Lichfield District.

It sits astride the junction of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and Coventry Canal; at Fazeley Junction are a couple of multi storey mills. Fazeley is also adjacent to Drayton Manor, formerly the home of Robert Peel and now a theme park and zoo.

Fazeley also sits astride the old Roman road of Watling Street, which is now much quieter following the move of the A5 road to run on a new course between Fazeley and Tamworth.

Nearby is Middleton Hall, a grade II listed building currently being restored by a charitable trust.
