No Man's Heath is an area six miles north-east of Tamworth, Staffordshire. Its name indicates that it is on high heathland near the borders of four English counties: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire. The place is probably a highpoint on an ancient road, either Roman or Mercian. Nearby in the late 19th century were Netherseal Colliery and Netherseal Hall.

Today a small village exists there, also called No Man's Heath. The county boundary which used to divide the village between Leicester and Warwickshire has been re-drawn to place the whole village in Warwickshire. The village's only Indian restaurant is appropriately called The Four Counties Spice; this used to be the village's only public house, which was appropriately called The Four Counties Inn.

Leicestershire, Warwickshire, and Staffordshire meet about half a mile (800 m) northwest of the village and Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire meet a further half mile northwest. There is an ancient (probably Mercian) stone, divided into four parts, which may mark the point where the four counties met before boundary adjustments.
