Stepping Hill was an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, England, created for the 2004 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election. It elected three councillors to Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council using the first past the post electoral method, electing one councillor every year without election on the fourth. The ward was abolished in boundary changes before the 2023 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election and split up, with the largest part of it going to the new ward of Norbury & Woodsmoor. Parts of Great Moor and Little Moor within the ward were moved into the Offerton ward, and a small area into the Hazel Grove ward.

The ward was bordered by Hazel Grove, Bramhall North, Davenport & Cale Green, Manor and Offerton, and included Stepping Hill Hospital.^[2] Together with Bramhall North, Bramhall South, Cheadle and Gatley, Cheadle Hulme North, Cheadle Hulme South, and Heald Green wards, it made up the Cheadle Parliamentary constituency.

Stepping Hill electoral ward was represented in Westminster by the Member of Parliament for Cheadle.

The ward was represented on Stockport Council by three councillors, and throughout its history was represented by councillors from the Liberal Democrats, Conservative Party, and the Labour Party.

In the 2023 local elections, all three of the sitting councillors for the ward and two of its former councillors sought re-election in new wards.^[3]

• Christine Carrigan was elected to represent Brinnington & Central.
