Stoke Ferry is a small riverside village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits on the banks of the River Wissey in the low-lying The Fens, giving it a quietly agricultural, waterside character popular with anglers, walkers and people interested in wetland wildlife.

Socially it feels like a close-knit rural community with occasional local events and easy access to nearby nature reserves and wider market towns.
