Stokes Valley Football Club is an amateur football club based in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.

The club was formed on the 7 March 1967 from a meeting at St. Phillip's Church Hall.[1][2] After entering the local leagues in Division 6, the first team won promotion in the next seven of the clubs first nine years.[2]

From the 1970s through to 1993 the club bounced between Divisions one to three before they saw promotion to the top league Central League in 1994.[2] They would spend three years in the division before pulling out in 1997 due to costs and lack of players.[2][1]

The club also competes in the Chatham Cup, New Zealand's premier knockout tournaments for men.[3] The best run they have had in the competition is making the final sixteen twice. They first did it in 1979 before losing 0–4 to Stop Out,[4][5] then again in 1988, this time losing 0–2 to Gisborne City.[6][7]
