Standish is a small rural parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds.

The built environment mixes historic houses, farms and stone cottages, and community life revolves around the parish church and village hall; agriculture remains important locally while many residents commute to nearby towns or work in the creative and artisan economy centred on Stroud. The area is popular with walkers and those after a quieter rural lifestyle, with footpaths, local events and a sense of close‑knit village community reflecting broader Gloucestershire rural heritage.
