Stapeley is a hamlet (at SJ675496) and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. The hamlet lies 2¼ miles to the south east of Nantwich. The parish also includes the settlements of Broad Lane and Butt Green, and parts of Artle Brook, Haymoor Green and Howbeck Bank, as well as a recent residential development north of the A5301 adjacent to Nantwich.^[1][2] In 2008, the total population was estimated to be a little under 3000. Nearby villages include Shavington, Willaston and Wybunbury.

Stapeley House is a small country house on London Road (at SJ670505) which was formerly the seat of the Folliott family; it is listed at grade II. Dating originally from 1778, it has three storeys and five bays in red brick. It was altered in the late 1840s by Anthony Salvin, who added a classical stone frontispiece and canted bay windows, and also laid out the gardens. It has now been converted into offices.^[11][12][13] Another grade-II-listed building on London Road is Stapeley Old Hall (SJ674502), a late Georgian house in stuccoed brick, dating from the early 19th century. It features a large central semi-circular bow with a conical roof around the main entrance.^[11][12][14]

Two timber-framed farmhouses are listed at grade II: Yewtree Farmhouse on Annions Lane (SJ681501) dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, and Haymoorgreen Farmhouse on Wybunbury Lane (SJ679508) dates from before 1626; both properties are unusual in retaining one or more wattle and daub panels.^[15][16] Manor Farmhouse on Newcastle Road (SJ675517) dates from the early 18th century, and Oakfield on Stapeley Road (SJ675498) dates from the late 18th or early 19th century; both buildings are in orange brick and are listed at grade II.^[17][18]

Stapeley Water Gardens garden centre at Butt Green (SJ664512) formerly included a small zoo, the Palms Tropical Oasis, which closed on 5 September 2010.^[19][20] Stapeley Grange Wildlife Hospital is on London Road near First Dig Lane.^[8]
