The County of West Midlands is a metropolitan county in western central England with a population of around 2,600,000 people. It was formed on April 1, 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The county contains three major cities, these being Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton. Other large settlements in the county include Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, and the Black Country towns of Dudley, Walsall and West Bromwich.

The West Midlands no longer has a county council, as the former West Midlands County Council was abolished in 1986, although the county remains in legal existence. The county is sometimes described as the "West Midlands metropolitan area" or the "West Midlands conurbation", although these have different, and less clearly defined, boundaries. The seven metropolitan boroughs, along with the nearby unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin are starting to collaborate as a non-statutory city region under the name "Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country".

The name "West Midlands" is also used for the much larger West Midlands region, which sometimes causes confusion.
