Stretton is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Lapley, Stretton and Wheaton Aston, in the South Staffordshire district, in the county of Staffordshire, England.

[1] The A5 is Watling Street, a notable Roman road, and another Roman road passes through Stretton from Mediolanum (Whitchurch), forming a junction with Watling Street near the bridge over the River Penk.

On the other side of the river was the now-deserted Roman settlement of Pennocrucium.

Stretton Bridge today carries Watling Street over the Penk.

The Shropshire Union Canal passes to the west of the village, and there is a Stretton Wharf.
