Guildford Lido is a public, open-air swimming pool in Guildford, Surrey, England. In Stoke Park, to the north of the town centre, it is surrounded by 1.8 ha (4.5 acres) of landscaped grounds. The lido attracts around 90,000 visits each year. It is owned by Guildford Borough Council and has been run by Freedom Leisure since 2011.

The lido was built during the Great Depression and opened in June 1933. Its construction was part-financed by "The Mayor's Work Fund", devised by the then Mayor of Guildford, William Harvey, to provide paid work opportunities for unemployed residents of the town.

The pool was originally constructed under the imperial system of measurements to dimensions of 165 ft (50.3 m) by 90 ft (27.4 m), but during refurbishment work in 1989, the length was reduced by around 30 cm to 50 m (160 ft) to allow it to meet international competition standards.
