Tupton is a civil parish in North East Derbyshire, in the county of Derbyshire, England, lying a short distance east of Chesterfield. The parish combines a compact village with surrounding farmland and small pockets of suburban development, and sits within easy commuting range of larger centres such as Chesterfield and Sheffield, with good road links to the M1 corridor.
Historically the area grew up around small-scale coal mining and brickmaking, so the landscape still bears traces of that industrial past alongside country estates and village churches. Local life is centred on community facilities and education - notably Tupton Hall School - and residents enjoy a village atmosphere while relying on nearby towns for wider shopping and employment opportunities.
