Curborough is an electoral ward in the district around Lichfield in Staffordshire, England. It sits on the edge of the city and is predominantly semi-rural, with farmland, hedgerows and quiet lanes giving way to low‑density housing that benefits from easy access to Lichfield's amenities and rail links while retaining a village‑like feel.
Its character reflects an agricultural past, with scattered farmsteads and some older houses, but the local economy is now a mix of farming and residents who commute to nearby towns for work. Community life tends to focus on local halls and groups rather than large commercial centres, and planning and conservation issues around greenbelt and development are often prominent in local debate.
