Woodville is a rural suburb in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia that is shared between the Port Stephens and Maitland local government areas (LGA).

[8] Woodville's primary land use is agricultural, although housing and small-acre rural residential lots are increasingly significant.

The suburb's centre consists of only a few buildings: an old timber shop, a few houses of mixed age and design and the All Saints sandstone gothic style church.

It offered abundant natural resources, with rivers, extensive wetlands, lakes, open woodland and rainforest.

In the early 19th century, the first Europeans known to enter the region were timber-getters seeking to exploit the extensive red cedar trees that grew on and near the banks of the Paterson and Hunter rivers.
