The Turf is a roundabout junction located on the A5 between Cannock and Brownhills in Staffordshire.
It is named after the Turf Inn, which was positioned in the north-west corner of the junction. Until the 1930s it had been called Old Turf Inn, and was positioned in the north-east corner.
The roundabout and short lengths of A5 dual carriageway were built in the early 1970s. As a result, the bridge of the A5 over the former canal (named Watling Street Bridge) was removed.
