Edgeley and Cheadle Heath is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. It was established in 2004 by The Borough of Stockport (Electoral Changes) Order 2004. [2] It elects three Councillors to Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council using the first past the post electoral method, electing one Councillor every year without an election on the fourth.

Together with Brinnington & Central, Davenport and Cale Green, Heatons North, Heatons South and Manor, the ward lies in the Stockport Parliamentary Constituency. At the border of the ward with Brinnington & Central lies Stockport Station, formerly known as Edgeley Station. The ward also contains Stockport Academy, formerly Avondale High School.[3]
