Edingale is a village and civil parish in the Lichfield District of Staffordshire, England. It lies on the River Mease, around 7 miles (11 km) north of Tamworth close to the border with Derbyshire. In UK census of 2001 the parish had a population of 598.

Until the late 19th century the village of Edingale was divided between the chapelry of Edingale, within Alrewas parish in Staffordshire, and the parish of Croxall which was then in Derbyshire.

In 1831 the population of the Staffordshire village was 177. By 1851 it had risen to 197 occupying 850 acres of land. At that time the lord of the manor was the Earl of Lichfield, but he was not the sole landowner in the area.

Formerly in Tamworth Rural District, the parish became part of Lichfield Rural District during the boundary changes of 1934. The civil parish of Croxall was incorporated into Edingale at the same time.
