Streethay is an English village and civil parish adjoining the city of Lichfield, Staffordshire on the east side of the West Coast Main Line railway. The current parish council is a joint one with Fradley.

In 1934 the parish gained an area of approximately 450 acres altogether from the parishes of Whittington and Fulfen. Fulfen was abolished by this exchange.
