Stubben is a municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany. The name means, roughly 'tree stump.' The area of Stubben was once a forest area full of deer and other wildlife.

Archaeological finds show that at least 10,000 years ago, reindeer hunters once lived in this region, and large stone tombs and finds from the Neolithic period indicate a continuous settlement since then. The town really began to grow when the Bremen and Bremerhaven railway line built a train station there, allowing the residents to get to the nearby cities where they worked. Stubben grew and merged with the former independent communities of Adelstedt, Brun, and Elfershude and with the Erbhof Plein, an area which previously belonged to neighbouring Bokel.
