Awkley is a hamlet in the parish of Olveston in Gloucestershire. It sits just off the junction of two motorways, the M4 and M48.

Several streams run in the area including Tockington Mill Rhine, Moor Rhine, Niatt Rhine and Sandy Rhine.

One notable building at Awkley is the former Ebenezer chapel, dated to 1850. Now known as "The Vine", it reopened for worship in August 2006.[1]
