Coundon is a predominantly residential suburb in north-west Coventry, in the county of the West Midlands, England.[1]

Along with the neighbouring Keresley, Coundon was originally a village in the Warwickshire countryside. By the 1930s it had been incorporated into the city of Coventry after mass housebuilding took place to accommodate the city's growing population.[2]
