Moseley Bog is a nature reserve in the Moseley area of Birmingham, England.
It was declared a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) by Birmingham City Council on 17 July 1991. Much of the area comprising Moseley Bog was declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1980. However, following its LNR declaration and re-evaluation by English Nature the site was denotified on 21 July 1992.
There are also burnt mounds, which, with their surrounding areas, are Scheduled Ancient Monuments.
J. R. R. Tolkien lived nearby, as a child, and the area influenced the description of the Shire in his books.
A house adjacent to the reserve (since demolished) was used by reggae band UB40 for their ealiest recordings.
