Dordon is a village and civil parish in the district of North Warwickshire, in the county of Warwickshire, England. Lying close to the Staffordshire border and only a few miles from Tamworth, the parish occupies gently rolling lowland that was once largely agricultural and is now a mix of residential areas and patches of industrial development on its edges.
Historically a small settlement that grew substantially in the 20th century with mining and local industry, Dordon today combines a strong commuting population (many travel to nearby Tamworth or Birmingham) with local employment provided by sizeable distribution and business parks on the parish fringe, notably Birch Coppice Business Park. The community retains a village feel with local clubs, a parish council and close ties to neighbouring Polesworth and other nearby settlements for cultural and historic amenities.
