Mapperley is a small civil parish in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland close to the Nottinghamshire border. The village retains a rural character of stone cottages, farms and hedgerowed lanes, yet lies within easy commuting distance of Derby and Nottingham.

Historically rooted in agriculture with ties to the wider Derbyshire coal and textile trades, Mapperley today combines a quiet village community - centred on its church, village hall and pub - with residents who commute to nearby towns. Its name suggests a maple-wood origin and the surrounding lanes and countryside make it a pleasant spot for walkers and those seeking a quieter side of the Amber Valley.
