Brimington is a civil parish on the eastern edge of Chesterfield in Derbyshire, England.

Historically rooted in agriculture and coal‑related industry, Brimington has become largely a residential and commuter community with local shops, schools and active clubs for cricket and football; a prominent parish church and community hall provide a focus for social life, while its proximity to Chesterfield gives easy access to wider employment and cultural amenities in Sheffield and Derby.
