Slitting Mill is a small village on the outskirts of Rugeley, Staffordshire, on the edge of Cannock Chase. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 265.[1]

The village is within Rugeley civil parish, although it is a short distance from the rest of the town and has a distinct identity. Horns Pool is a popular local location for anglers.

Slitting Mill was named after the mills that were situated there during the 17th and 18th centuries.[2] A water pumping station, owned by South Staffordshire Water, draws water from the ground beneath the village.[3]
