Walsall ist ein Verwaltungsbezirk mit dem Status eines Metropolitan Borough in der Grafschaft West Midlands in England. Verwaltungssitz ist die gleichnamige Stadt Walsall, in der rund zwei Drittel der Bevölkerung leben. Weitere bedeutende Orte im Bezirk sind Aldridge, Bloxwich, Brownhills, Darlaston, Streetly und Willenhall.

Die heute bestehenden Grenzen des Bezirks wurden am 1. April 1974 im Zuge einer weit reichenden Kommunalreform festgelegt. Der ehemalige County Borough von Walsall wurde mit dem Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District in Staffordshire fusioniert.

1986 wurde Walsall faktisch eine Unitary Authority, als die Zentralregierung die übergeordnete Verwaltung der Grafschaft West Midlands auflöste. Walsall blieb für zeremonielle Zwecke und auch für einzelne übergeordnete Aufgaben wie Polizei, Feuerwehr und öffentlicher Verkehr Teil der West Midlands.
