Whitacre Heath is a small linear village on the heathland that lies between Nether Whitacre and Over Whitacre in the district of North Warwickshire, Warwickshire, England. It sits close to the River Tame and is characterised by flat, gravelly ground where former workings and pits have created lakes and reedbeds that now attract waterfowl and anglers, giving the area a surprisingly wild feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
Locally the settlement retains a rural, community-orientated character; many residents commute into Birmingham and surrounding centres while enjoying country walks and wildlife on the heath. Historically the commons and heathland shaped farming and small-scale industry, and today conservation and leisure use of the former gravel lakes sit alongside a handful of village amenities.
