Stoke Goldington is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes and ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, England. It is located about four miles NNW of Newport Pagnell, on the B526, the old road to Northampton.

The village name 'Stoke' derives from an Old English language word 'stoc', which means 'place' (Wiki). It came to be used in the context of either a religious or a secondary settlement, and is one of the most common place names in England (see Stoke (disambiguation)). In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Stoche. The affix 'Goldington' came later and refers to "Peter of Goldington" (from Goldington in Bedfordshire) who was the principal tenant in the village in the medieval period.
