Stoke Bruerne is a small village in Northamptonshire in England, UK.

The village's claim to fame is its situation on the Grand Union Canal and thus it is a favourite destination for gongoozlers. It is home to a Canal Museum at the top of a flight of canal locks. A few hundred yards from the museum is the entrance to Blisworth tunnel which, at 3,056 yards, is one of the longest in the UK.
