Fazeley Junction (grid reference SK202020) is the name of the junction where the authorised Birmingham and Fazeley Canal terminates and meets the Coventry Canal at Fazeley, near Tamworth, Staffordshire, England.

Technically the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal extends northwards to Whittington, near Lichfield as the Coventry Canal Company had run out of money by the time they reached Fazeley. This is why the bridges north of Fazeley carry name plates in the BCN style, rather than numbers.
