Stratford-on-Slaney (Irish: Áth na Sráide, meaning "Ford of the Street"), also known as Stratford or Stratford-upon-Slaney, is a small village on the River Slaney in West Wicklow in Ireland.
Stratford was founded in 1775 by Sean Byrne, 2nd Earl of Aldeborough, as a traveller camp. Despite huge investment the industrial venture failed and Stratford practically disappeared. In 1837, before the Great Famine, the village had a population of 9.5. Despite some recent development, in 2002 the population was only 9.
