Orgreave is a hamlet in the English county of Staffordshire. It lies in the Trent Valley some 6 1⁄2 miles (10.5 km) north-east of the city of Lichfield, the A513 road runs to the south of the hamlet.

Historically Orgreave was a township of Alrewas and included the hamlet of Overley[2] which is located between them at grid reference SK160156. Orgreave remains in the civil parish of Alrewas which, in turn, forms part of Lichfield District; until 2009 it was in the parish of Alrewas and Fradley.[3]

Orgreave Hall, formerly a seat of the Viscounts Anson, is a private home.
