Coventry (AFI: /ˈkɒvəntri/) è una città del Regno Unito nelle West Midlands, in Inghilterra.Ha lo status di distretto metropolitano e storicamente era parte della contea del Warwickshire. Sorge a 153 km a nord-ovest dal centro di Londra, 31 km a sud-est di Birmingham, 39 km a sud-ovest di Leicester e 16 km a nord di Warwick.È il centro avente lo status di città del Regno Unito, accordatole nel 1345, più lontano dal mare. Per numero di abitanti (360 100 al 2017) Coventry è la dodicesima città del Regno Unito, la nona d'Inghilterra e la seconda delle Midlands Occidentali.La vicinanza di Birmingham fa sì che Coventry non sia considerata una delle città facenti parte del Core Cities Group. Coventry è la città che vanta il primo gemellaggio al mondo, con la città sovietica di Stalingrado (odierna Volgograd, in Russia), stabilito durante la seconda guerra mondiale.La relazione si sviluppò a seguito della volontà dei cittadini di Coventry, sottoposti a bombardamento dall'aviazione nazista nell'agosto 1940 durante la seconda guerra mondiale, di mostrare il loro sostegno all'Armata Rossa durante la Battaglia di Stalingrado.I bombardamenti furono così violenti che da essi fu coniato il termine coventrizzare. La città è sede della omonima diocesi anglicana, che ha sede nella cattedrale di Coventry, uno dei più recenti edifici del suo genere nel Regno Unito essendo stato ricostruito a opera di Basil Spence dal 1950 in avanti a seguito della distruzione occorsagli nel corso dei citati bombardamenti. Coventry è sede di due università: quella omonima, con sede nel centro cittadino, e, nonostante il nome, quella di Warwick, con sede nella periferia meridionale della città. Coventry e i suoi dintorni, con le sue industrie automobilistiche, diede un contribuito storico allo sviluppo dell'industria metalmeccanica del Regno Unito.
