Fosse Stoney Cove is an electoral ward in the district of Blaby, on the south‑western fringe of Leicester in Leicestershire, England. It has a largely suburban character with pockets of open space and small commercial areas, and benefits from good road links that tie it into local retail and distribution hubs such as Fosse Park and the surrounding motorway network.
The name evokes the nearby Roman route, the Fosse Way, and the ward reflects a mix of modern housing, community facilities and modest industrial or warehousing employment. Local life tends to centre on parish halls, schools and neighbourhood green spaces, giving it a quietly residential feel with some historic and infrastructural influences shaping its economy and identity.
