Stowe or Stow is a small village and civil parish in south Shropshire, England.
The parish has a border with Wales and the Welsh town of Knighton is less than two miles to the southwest of the village; a very small part of the town (including Knighton station) actually lies within Stowe parish and Shropshire. The population of the civil ward in the United Kingdom Census of 2011 was 140. In the 2021 census the population has dropped to 120 in 60 households.
Also nearby is the Salopian village of Bucknell and the Welsh hamlet of Milebrook.
The A488 passes through the parish and the A4113 road passes nearby.
Parish meeting Instead of a parish council it has a parish meeting; this is due to the very small population of the parish. The parish is represented by an elected chairman, these have been Mrs Peggy Pickup 1981 - 1991 Mrs M L Blyghton 1991 - 1993 Bill Parker 1993 - 1994 Brenda Sadler 1994 - 2003 Liz Trow 2003 - 2007 Connor Birch 2007 - 2012 Roger Casstles 2012 - 2016 Colin Bentley 2016 - 2023 Jimmy Garnier 2023 -
