Patchway is a town and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England, situated 6 mi (9.7 km) north-north west of central Bristol. The town has become an overflow settlement for Bristol and is contiguous with Bristol's urban area, along with the nearby towns of Filton and Bradley Stoke.
Patchway is twinned with Clermont l'Herault, France, and Gauting, Germany. It was established as a civil parish in 1953, becoming separate from the parish of nearby Almondsbury.
Patchway, where Rolls-Royce is a major aerospace employer, lies just north of Filton Airfield where BAE Systems and Airbus UK are also major aerospace employers. The town comprises three areas until 2015 when Stoke Lodge formed its own Parish council: Patchway Estate, Stoke Lodge and Aztec West.
