Stapleford Tawney is a village and civil parish in the Epping Forest district of Essex, England.

Historically Stapleford Tawney was included in the hundred of Ongar.

It formed part of the Ongar Rural District Council from 1894 until that authority was absorbed into Epping and Ongar Rural District Council in 1955.

Following local government reorganisation in 1974 it became part of Epping Forest District.

There is no strong focus of settlement in the parish except for the parish Church of St Mary on Tawney Lane which is within a small linear group of houses and farms.
