Stratford is a town and district of East London, England, in the London Borough of Newham. Part of the Lower Lea Valley, it is six miles (ten kilometres) northeast of Charing Cross, and includes Maryland and East Village.

Historically, part of the ancient parish of West Ham in the hundred of Becontree in Essex. Stratford later became part of the County Borough of West Ham and the location of its Town Hall. Following reform of local government in London in 1965 it became part of the borough of Newham in the newly formed Greater London.
