Shard End is an area in East Birmingham, in the county of the West Midlands, England. It is part of a wider eponymous ward within the formal district of Hodge Hill. Shard End borders Castle Bromwich to the north and Kingshurst to the east, which are both situated in the northwestern part of the neighbouring Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. The wider ward had a population of 7,423 at the 2021 census. Before 1974, Shard End was in Northwestern Warwickshire, close to the border with Worcestershire; it was also part of Birmingham for some years before the county change.
