Stockton Township was a township that existed in Camden County, New Jersey, United States, from 1859 until its dissolution in 1899.

Stockton Township was incorporated by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 23, 1859, from portions of Delaware Township (now Cherry Hill Township)."The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968", John P.
