Stokes is an outback locality in the Shire of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia.

[3] The Burke Developmental Road passes through the locality from north-east to south.

The land is entirely used for pastoral leases and is mostly flat at approximately 50 metres above sea level.

[3] The flatness of the land gives emphasis to a hill locally known as Bang Bang Jump Up on the Burke Developmental Road as it is the only sudden change in elevation within a very long distance and is of interest to tourists both as a lookout over the surrounding countryside and because they find the name amusing.

[4][5] The locality is named after John Lort Stokes, who was commanding officer of HMS Beagle from 1841 to 1846.
