Stainton is a village in County Durham, in England.

Stainton Village has entirely residential with around 100 houses and no local amenities.

The former public house, chapel, post office and shop are now private residences.

Just across the road from Stainton Village is Broomielaw, once a picnic area and home to an old railway station (now on private land) where Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother used to travel to get to Streatham Castle.

[citation needed] Stainton Camp was a British Army military installation.
