Offerton is a suburb of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It lies within the historic county boundaries of Cheshire, and became part of Greater Manchester in 1974. Offerton was formerly a civil parish, which was abolished in 1900 to become part of Hazel Grove and Bramhall. A parish called Offerton Park existed between 2002 and 2011, which covered one of the area's housing estates. Offerton gives its name to an electoral ward, although the ward excludes the older part of Offerton around Offerton Green.
