Fisherwick is a civil parish[2] in Lichfield District, Staffordshire, England. Located about 4 miles (6 km) east of the City of Lichfield, the parish does not include a village, just a scattered collection of farms and houses.[3] The ancient settlement, dating back to the 12th century, and the manor of Fisherwick Park no longer exist.[3] The parish council is a joint one with Whittington.[4]

Adjacent to the Fisherwick settlement is the hamlet of Hademore, which is crossed by the West Coast Main Line via Tamworth, and next to the Coventry Canal. The level crossing over the WCML at Hademore was replaced by a bridge at Christmas 2006.[5]

The River Tame forms the eastern and northern boundary of the parish as it flows northwards.
