Stockport Castle was a promontory castle in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Cheshire, the castle stood within the medieval town, overlooking a ford across the River Mersey. It was first documented in 1173, but the next known reference dates to 1535, when it was already in ruins. The remaining structures were demolished in 1775.
