HM Prison Stafford is a current operational prison based in the town of Stafford in the United Kingdom. The prison was built in 1794, and has been in almost continuous use, save a period between 1916 and 1940.

It held Irish Internees taken by the British after the 1916 Rising from May. They were released Christmas 1916.

The prison has an operational capacity of 680 prisoners, of which approximately 630 are currently (as of 2004) used

HMP Stafford is a Category c Prison (using the UK classification system), although it is more secure than other Category c Prisons as it has a large perimeter wall and fence.
