The Stour Valley Way is a 64-mile (103 km) long-distance footpath mostly in Dorset, England from Stourton to Hengistbury Head.

The path uses public rights of way and permitted paths to follow the course of the River Stour. It passes through the towns of Wimborne and Gillingham, and the villages of Stourton, Bourton, Silton, Milton-on-Stour, Ecclife, West Stour, Stour Provost, Fifehead Magdalen, Marnhull, Sturminster Newton, Child Okeford, Stourpaine, Bryanston, Blandford St. Mary, Charlton Marshall, Shapwick, Oakley, Canford Magna, Knighton, Dudsbury and Holdenhurst.
