Stanley is a town and civil parish in the ceremonial county and district of County Durham, England. Centred on a hilltop between Chester-le-Street and Consett, Stanley lies south-west of Gateshead.

The local economy was once based on coal mining and other heavy industries.[2] The core of the town began to grow in the nineteenth century through the expansion and merger of the mining villages of East Stanley and West Stanley.[3] The civil parish, created in 2007,[4] incorporates the town of Stanley and the villages of Annfield Plain, Bloemfontein, Catchgate, Clough Dene, Craghead, Greencroft, Harelaw, Kip Hill, New Kyo, No Place, Oxhill, Quaking Houses, Shield Row, South Moor, Tanfield, Tanfield Lea, Tantobie, The Middles, West Kyo and White-le-Head.[5]
