Four Ashes is a village in the district of South Staffordshire in Staffordshire, England, located about west of Cannock, north of Wolverhampton and northwest of Walsall.

The village was served by a station on the Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford Line of the Grand Junction Railway.[1] The station closed in 1959 although the railway line still runs past the village.

There is another hamlet in South Staffordshire called Four Ashes between Enville and Six Ashes. Four Ashes Hall is a 17th-century house and estate in that village, formerly open for conferences and weddings, which has been in the same family for 350 years.[2]
