Norton Canes is a village and electoral ward in the district of Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, England. Historically it grew up on the edge of the South Staffordshire coalfield and that mining past still colours the local identity, but the area is now largely residential with pockets of light industry and retail and a significant commuter population travelling to nearby centres.
The ward sits close to the reclaimed waterways and open country around Chasewater Country Park and the heathland of Cannock Chase, so leisure and outdoor pursuits are notable features; there are walking and cycling routes, water sports and a nearby heritage railway. Good road links via the M6 Toll and reasonable access to Birmingham and Cannock mean the area feels distinctly post‑industrial and connected, with an active local community and visible examples of landscape regeneration.
