Stoke Ferry is a small rural parish 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 within the low-lying fenland that characterises this corner of East Anglia, close to the Norfolk–Suffolk border and within easy reach of towns such as Downham Market and King's Lynn.
The settlement has a predominantly agricultural character - drainage, farming and the river have long shaped the landscape - and still retains village amenities and a strong local community. Historically the village was connected by a small light railway and by river crossings that reflected its role in local transport and industry; today the surrounding wetlands and reedbeds are also noted for wildlife interest, while community life centres on traditional village institutions and occasional local events.
