Weston-under-Lizard is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard, in the South Staffordshire district of Staffordshire, England. It is known as Weston-under-Lizard (the name of a hill in nearby Shropshire) to distinguish it from Weston-on-Trent.{{cn|date=May 2020}} It should not be confused with the village of Weston, to the north east of Stafford. In 1961 the parish had a population of 294.{{cite web|url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10296419/cube/TOT_POP|title=Population statistics Weston under Lizard CP/AP through time|publisher=A Vision of Britain through Time|accessdate=17 February 2023}} On 1 April 1986 the parish was abolished and merged with Blymhill to form "Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard".{{cite web|url=https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/12129/south-staffordshire-parishes-order-1986.pdf|title=The South Staffordshire (Parishes) Order 1986|publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission for England|accessdate=17 February 2023}}

The village is on the A5 (here following the course of Watling Street), and is very close to the county boundary with Shropshire. Nearby places are Blymhill, within Staffordshire, and Tong in Shropshire. To the south of the village is Weston Park, the ancestral home of the Earls of Bradford and the venue for the V Festival. Associated with the Hall, there is the parish church of St. Andrew, where Honora Sneyd was buried.

A variation in the spelling of the village name may be seen in an old Law record.http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/H5/CP40no609/aCP40no609fronts/IMG_0187.htm, first entry, first line
