Barrow upon Trent is a small riverside village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, lying on the south bank of the River Trent. It retains a compact historic core centred on its parish church and is surrounded by low-lying agricultural land and river meadows, giving the village a distinctly rural, waterside character popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The community is quiet and largely residential, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Derby and Burton upon Trent for work; historically its economy has been tied to farming and the river. Small-scale local events and a village focus on preserving historic buildings and natural floodplain landscapes help maintain a strong local identity despite easy road links to larger urban centres.
