Stratford on Avon is a local government district of southern Warwickshire in England. The district is named "Stratford on Avon" to distinguish it from its main town of Stratford upon Avon where the district council is based.

The district is mostly rural and covers most of the southern half of Warwickshire. As well as Stratford, the district also includes the towns of Alcester, Southam, and Shipston-on-Stour, and the large villages of Studley and Wellesbourne.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the borough of Stratford upon Avon, Alcester Rural District, Shipston on Stour Rural District, Southam Rural District and a majority of Stratford on Avon Rural District.
