Severn Stoke is a village and civil parish in the Malvern Hills District in the south of the county of Worcestershire, England, lying beside the A38 road. It was home to "Francis the Counting Duck", made famous on Esther Rantzen's That's Life! TV program. In 1996 a hoard of 18 silver Saxon pennies were found near Severn Stoke.

Severn Stoke was within the bounds of the Royal forest of Horewell during the medieval period. The woodlands were mostly removed around the time of the Civil War.

The village of Severn Stoke was never connected to the railway, but a highly detailed 00 gauge model exists which is based on what the station may have looked like if there once was.
