Lea Village (formerly just Lea) is a former village that is now an urban area in the east of Birmingham, part of the Yardley salient of Worcestershire.

The area was developed for housing from the 1930s. The term Lea Village now usually refers to the area north of Lea Hall station, the former village centre. It is within the council area of Birmingham.
