The "very deep" hole was spotted near to a drain at the corner of Lapper Avenue and Ward Grove and had been filled with litter, including an empty bottle of rum.
Wolverhampton Council said repairs "will be undertaken" to repair the road defect after residents took to social media to speak of their safety concerns.
One woman posted a picture of the pothole – which is near to Hill Avenue Primary School – on Facebook, saying she "would hate it if anyone got hurt".
