Stretton is a hamlet and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. The small, rural parish also includes the hamlet of Wetreins Green (pronounced Wetrens or Wet-er-ans).

Notable landmarks within the parish are Stretton Hall, Stretton Lower Hall, Stretton Old Hall, and also the working museum Stretton Watermill.
