Apeton is a hamlet in Staffordshire in the West Midlands region of England. It is located 5+1⁄2 miles (8.9 km) southwest of Stafford,^[1] in the civil parish of Church Eaton^[2] and the Borough of Stafford.

Apeton is mentioned as Abetone in the 11th-century Domesday Book, when it was part of the land of Robert de Stafford.^[3]

In the 1880s it was in the parish of Gnosall, until parts were transferred to Bradley and Haughton.^[1]^[4] The boundaries were changed again in 1934, when Church Eaton parish was extended to include Apeton to the north.^[5]
