The Sutton Coldfield Observer is a free local newspaper serving the residents of Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham, England. Launched in 1985, it took over from the Sutton Coldfield Times newspaper. The current editor is Charlotte Hart and the sports editor is Michael Beardmore.

The weekly newspaper reports on local issues and achievements and provides a section on properties for sale in the area. The paper also includes a 16-page leisure guide.
