Poole Pottery is a British pottery brand owned by Denby Pottery Company, with the products made in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire.

It was founded as a manufacturer in 1873 on Poole quayside in Dorset where it produced pottery, before moving its factory operations in 1999 to a new site in Sopers Lane until its closure in 2006.[1] They generally specialised on earthenware, although other bodies such as stoneware were periodically produced.[2]

Historical products from Poole Pottery are displayed in museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.[3]
