Castle Bromwich is a suburb situated within the most northerly part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the English county of West Midlands. It is bordered by the rest of the borough to the south east, North Warwickshire to the east and north east; also Shard End to the south west, Castle Vale, Erdington and Minworth to the north and Hodge Hill to the west - all areas of the City of Birmingham. It constitutes a civil parish which had a population of 11,857 according to the 2001 census.
It was a civil parish within the Meriden Rural District of Warwickshire until the Local Government Act 1972 came into force in 1974, when it became part of Solihull. In 1861, the population was 613. This rose to just over 1,000 in the 1920s, when half of the original parish was ceded to the City of Birmingham for the construction of overspill estates. This caused a drop to 678 (almost the 1861 level). Post Second World War estate building in Castle Bromwich increased the population to 4,356 in 1951, 9,205 in 1961 and 15,941 in 1971. The parish was then split into two, resulting in the lower 2001 figures.

Castle Bromwich was earmarked in the 1930s for an ambitious programme of new municipal housing, and the process has continued since. The Church of St Mary and St Margaret (1726-31) replaced an older church by simply encasing its timbers. A growing visitor attraction is the on-going restoration of Castle Bromwich Hall Garden, a fine early 18th-century English frmal garden, in Chester Road.
