Stavely is a farming community in southern Alberta, Canada. It is located {{convert|110|km|mi}} south of Calgary on Highway 2 and {{convert|16|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of Willow Creek Provincial Park.

Stavely was named for Alexander Staveley Hill, Managing Director of the Oxley Ranching Company that was founded in 1882[4] by John R Craig on 100,000 acres of grazing rights.[5]

The Canadian Pacific Railway once ran through the town. Its closure led to the removal of all but one of Stavely's grain elevators.

The people of Stavely and area are proud of their friendliness and community spirit.[4]
