Davenport is a district of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England; until 1974, it was part of Cheshire.

The family name came from an ancestral estate between Holmes Chapel and Congleton, in Mid Cheshire.

The aftermath of World War II saw the demolition of larger, older properties in extensive gardens to make way for smaller private residences and flats.

The railway station, at Davenport's main road junction, allows travel by rail towards Manchester Piccadilly, Stockport, Hazel Grove and Buxton.

Routes include the regular 192 service along Buxton Road between Manchester and Hazel Grove.
