Stockton [stɑːktɪn] is a census-designated place (CDP) in Worcester County, Maryland, United States.

Stockton, originally called Sandy Hill, grew up at the crossing of the post road from Snow Hill south to Virginia (whose track is generally followed by modern Maryland Route 12) with the road from Mattapony Landing on the Pocomoke River to the Chincoteague Bay (the eastern part of which is now Maryland Route 366), where small ocean-going vessels could drop anchor.

[3] In 1872 the Worcester County election district which took its name from Sandy Hill was renamed Stockton.

Passenger trains ended service in the late 1940s, and the last freight trainmade its final run through Stockton in approximately 1955.

The Stockton Poultry Plant opened as World War II ended, but closed around 1970.

Today, Stockton residents are as likely to work at NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia than to be farmers or watermen.

[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), all land.

An extensive network of manmade canals is located approximately two miles east of Stockton.
