Armitage is a village in Staffordshire, England on the south side of the Trent and Mersey Canal between Lichfield and Rugeley. Together with the adjacent village of Handsacre, it forms the parish of Armitage with Handsacre.

Its main claim to fame is that it is the original home of Armitage Shanks, manufacturers of bathroom furniture.

The village was formerly called Hermitage, from a tradition that a hermit lived between the church and the River Trent.It does not appear in the "Domesday Book" although Handsacre does.
