South Stoke is a small village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is located two miles (3 km) to the north of Arundel, and is situated on the west bank of the River Arun on the edge of Arundel Park. It is reached by road from Arundel. A footpath leads to North Stoke on the east bank. The civil parish, which includes the hamlet of Offham, covers an area of 534.86 hectares (1,321.7 acres) and has a population of 44 persons (2001 census). The parish church, Saxon in origin, is dedicated to St Leonard. There is one public house, the Black Rabbit at Offham.

The Monarch's Way long-distance footpath crosses the western edge of the parish between Houghton and Arundel.

The village population declined after 1806 when common land was enclosed to make Arundel Park, depriving the villagers of sheep grazing land.

The parish church

The 11th century building is recorded in the Domesday Book, when the village was named as "Stoches". Built of flint it has a thin western tower which carries a 19th century broach spire with four slatted dormer windows. There is one bell dated 1657. The porch is 13th century.
