Stoke Gifford is a neighbourhood and parish and electoral ward in the South Gloucestershire district, in the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire, England. Formerly a separate village, it is now a suburb in the Bristol built-up area, part of the city's North Fringe. The ward had 14,200 residents in 5,788 households at the 2021 census and the parish had 19,794.

It is served by Bristol Parkway railway station and is home to Stoke Gifford depot, on the London-South Wales railway line. To the south, it is served by the Bristol Ring Road.

Several major employers and office parks are located in Stoke Gifford, including the Bristol offices of Aviva which took over Friends Life in 2015. The Stoke Gifford area is also home to the main campus of the University of the West of England, and offices of Hewlett-Packard and MOD Abbey Wood, although since 2023 parish boundary changes these are now in the Stoke Park and Cheswick parish.

The parish includes the neighbourhoods of Little Stoke and Harry Stoke. It borders Filton, to the south-west, Patchway to the north west, Bradley Stoke to the north, Winterbourne and Hambrook to the east, and Cheswick to the south.
