Stakeford is a large village in south east Northumberland, England.

It lies south of the River Wansbeck from Ashington, the nearest town.

There is now no trace of the original ford due to the mudflats being used as a landfill site in the 1950s and 60s and the creation of a riverside country park in the 1970s.

There is also a miners' institute although it never had a mine as this was located in the adjacent village of Bomarsund.

Today Stakeford forms one built-up area, with neighbouring Guide Post and Sheepwash.
