Checkley is a village and civil parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands in the English county of Staffordshire.

== Location == The village is located in the valley of the River Tean and sits astride of the A522. The village is north west of the town of Uttoxeter and is south east of Stoke on Trent. The nearest railway station is at Blythe Bridge, which is north west of the village, or at Uttoxeter, and gives access to trains on the Crewe to Derby Line, which is also a Community rail line known as the North Staffordshire line. The A50 major trunk road from Stoke to Derby bypasses the village and runs parallel with the A522 just south of the village. This road opened in April 1985 and took much of the traffic away from the village.
