伯明翰(Birmingham)是英國英格蘭中部、密德蘭(Midland)地區的大型工業城市,据2002年统计数字,該城人口有989,956人,在伯明翰周围80公里范围内的总人口有2百万人左右,是英国除伦敦外最大的都會區。
}
伯明翰人的地方口音和英国英格兰中西部煤矿区口音相似,伯明翰人的特点是比较勤劳和富于幽默感。

伯明翰是英国文化最多元化的城市,根据2001年的统计,29.7%的人口不是白种人,有许多从加勒比地区、南亚和爱尔兰来的移民,是牙买加以外牙买加黑人基督教徒最多的地区,爱尔兰人庆祝“圣·帕特里克”节游行,在伯明翰规模仅次于都柏林和纽约,为世界第三。印度人在伯明翰发明的“巴拉提”咖喱烹饪法已经流行到各地。
伯明翰每年接待大约2千2百万游客,商业中心繁华程度仅次于伦敦西区。
伯明翰市中心有60公里长的河道,在工业革命时期,这些河道是工业的交通命脉,但现在只有旅游用途了,人们经常说伯明翰的河道比威尼斯的还要长,威尼斯只有43公里,实际上伯明翰要比威尼斯范围大多了,所以河流比例没有威尼斯大。
在第二次世界大战|二战期间,伯明翰受到猛烈的轰炸,维多利亚时代的建筑已毁坏殆尽,目前都是20世纪50和60年代重新建设的,所以伯明翰成为英国最“丑陋”的城市,经常被人们称为“混凝土森林”。
近年来,城市中心经过大力改造,恢复了许多旧的街道,并建了许多广场。
伯明翰原来只是一个小村庄,14世纪成为一个大镇,工业革命后,由于附近发现煤矿,城市迅速发展起来,城市人口1800年为75000人,1900年为65万,1889年才被列入英国城市名录。
内维尔·张伯伦—— 前英国首相。
伯明翰以前在人们心目中只是一座肮脏的“煤都”,是纯工业城市,但从1960年代起,“重金属”音乐开始在伯明翰发起,伯明翰很快成为现代音乐的世界首都,新兴乐队层出不穷。1970年代,随着拉丁美洲移民的增加,牙买加的雷鬼乐传到伯明翰,伯明翰又成为英语雷鬼乐的基地。1980年代,新浪漫主义音乐又在伯明翰兴起,伯明翰总能领导目前世界新兴音乐的潮流。
伯明翰还每年举办国际爵士乐节,是英国最大的爵士乐节。
伯明翰交响乐团和伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞团都在世界上享有盛名,从1784年到1912年,伯明翰三年一次举办英国最大的音乐节。
许多著名的作家都和伯明翰有关:
阿瑟·柯南·道尔 从1879年春天到1882年就住在伯明翰,他书中提到的许多地方和人物都和伯明翰有关。
查尔斯·狄更斯 的作品中有“伯明翰市政厅”。
《魔戒》的作者约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金童年时代是在伯明翰度过的,他的父母就是伯明翰人。
