Caverswall is a village and parish in Staffordshire, England, to the south west of Staffordshire Moorlands.

In the middle of the 19th century there were about 1500 inhabitants. In the 1880s an urbanised part of the parish called East Vale was transferred to Longton, which was then an expanding industrial town.[1] The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 971.[2]

On 1 April 1974 the civil parish was renamed from "Caverswall" to "Caverswall and Werrington",[3] on 1 April 1988 the parish of "Caverswall and Werrington" was abolished and split into "Caverswall" and Werrington.[4]
