Slad is a village in Gloucestershire, England, located in the Slad Valley, about 2 miles (3 km) from the town of Stroud.
Slad is famous for being the home of Laurie Lee, who based his book Cider with Rosie on his own life in the village.
The village lies in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, and is built principally on the B4070 road from Stroud to Birdlip, which is halfway up one side of Slad Valley. The Slad Brook runs along the bottom of the valley. There is a small parish church in the village, and a small traditional pub, the Woolpack.
