Birmingham on Englanti|Englannin ja Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta|Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan toiseksi suurin kaupunki, joka sijaitsee West Midlandsin Englannin kreivikunnat|kreivikunnassa Englannin keskiosassa. Itse kaupungissa on asukkaita vajaa miljoona ja ympäröivällä metropolialueella yhteensä noin 2,3 miljoonaa.
Toinen maailmansota|Toisen maailmansodan aikana Birmingham oli saksalaisten raskaan pommituksen kohteena, mistä seurasi inhimillisten tappioiden lisäksi useiden kaupungin historiallisesti arvokkaiden rakennusten tuhoutuminen. Tuhoa jatkoi 1970-luku|1970-luvun kunnallishallinto, joka rakensi monikaistaisen kehätien keskustan ympäri (osittain maan alle, osittain päälle), purkaen surutta alle jääneet korttelit. Äkkiä iskeneen laman takia kestikin liki 30 vuotta, ennen kuin Queens Roadin reunamille jääneet rampakorttelit saatiin siedettävään kuntoon. Viimeinen suuri rakennuskohde oli Bulls Ring -ostoskeskuksen uudelleenrakennus vuosina 2001–2003. Näiden remonttien jälkeen Birminghamin keskustaa pidetään Britannian toiseksi parhaana shoppailualueena Länsi-Lontoon jälkeen.
1900-luku|1900-luvulla metalli- ym. teollisuuden alamäen seurauksena Birminghamin talous ja myös maine jossain määrin kärsivät. Myöhemmin kaupungissa on pyritty kasvojenkohotukseen mm. uudistamalla keskustan alueita, mikä onkin elävöittänyt kulttuurielämää ja turismia. Erityisesti keskustassa kulkevien kanavien varsia on valaistu ja kivetty uudelleen, ja vanhoihin tyhjiin teollisuus- ja varastorakennuksiin on houkuteltu kulttuurilaitoksia ja ravintoloita. Broad Street on yöelämän keskus pubeineen ja yökerhoineen.
Birminghamin yliopisto perustettiin vuonna 1900.
Birmingham tunnetaan monien kuuluisien yhtyeiden synnyinsijana, joista kuuluisimmat ovat Black Sabbath, Duran Duran ja Judas Priest.
