The West Midlands conurbation is the large conurbation that includes the cities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton and the towns of Sutton Coldfield, Dudley, Walsall, West Bromwich, Solihull, Stourbridge and Halesowen in the English West Midlands. It is also referred to as the Birmingham urban area and is one of the most populated and densely populated built-up areas in the United Kingdom. Not to be confused with the region or metropolitan county of the same name, the conurbation does not include parts of the metropolitan county such as Coventry, but does include parts of the surrounding counties of Staffordshire (e.g. Little Aston, Perton and Essington) and Worcestershire (such as Hagley and Hollywood). According to the 2011 Census the area had a population of 2,440,986, making it the third most populated in the United Kingdom behind the Greater London and the Urban areas of Greater Manchester. The conurbation sits within the UK's (and therefore England's) largest metropolitan area outside London (known as the Birmingham Metropolitan Area). The conurbation also has several other unofficial names such as Greater Birmingham, the West Midlands Metro Area, the Birmingham conurbation, and the Birmingham-Wolverhampton conurbation. However it is (Greater) Birmingham & The Black Country that has gained the widest traction as an alternative to the generally unpopular official name of the Conurbation. An example of this is the tagline used by BBC Radio WM - “The sound of Birmingham & The Black Country”. The conurbation is polycentric - Birmingham and Wolverhampton have separate Eurostat Larger Urban Zones, and there are separate Travel to Work areas defined for Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley & Sandwell and Walsall & Cannock; whilst the extreme south-west corner of the conurbation at Hagley is within the Kidderminster Travel to Work Area, and the extreme south-east corner is within the Warwick & Stratford upon Avon TTWA.

Não deve ser confundida com a região e condado de mesmo nome, pois a conurbação não inclui algumas partes do concelho, como Coventry, mas inclui condados em torno, como Staffordshire, Warwickshir e Worcestershire. Segundo o censo de 2001, a conurbação de Midlands Ocidentais possui 2.284.093 habitantes, sendo assim a segunda maior área urbana mais populosa do Reino Unido depois da área urbana da Grande Londres.
