Stoke Poges is a village and civil parish in the South Buckinghamshire district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is in the south of the county, about three miles north of Slough and a mile east of Farnham Common.

The name "Stoke Poges": stoke means a stockaded place. In the Domesday Book of 1086, the village was recorded as Stoche. The affix 'Poges' came later, and refers to the family that owned the manor in the 13th century. William Fitz-Ansculf, who held the Manor in 1086 (in the grounds of which the Norman Church was built), later became known as William Stoches or William of Stoke. Two hundred years after William, Amicia of Stoke, heiress of the occupant of the Manor, married Robert Pogeys, who was Knight of the Shire. The village eventually was known as Stoke Poges.
