Horsley Woodhouse is a small village and civil parish in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England, set in gently rolling countryside on the fringes of the Peak District. The layout mixes old stone cottages and more recent housing, and its rural setting means there are good walks and views nearby while larger towns are within easy commuting distance.

Historically the community grew from farming with links to the coalfield economies of the region, and that mixed agricultural and industrial heritage still shows in local buildings and place names. Today it retains a strong village identity with local clubs, a village hall and pub at its social heart, and a largely residential economy where many people commute to work in surrounding towns while enjoying a quieter, community-focused lifestyle.
