Overseal is a village and civil parish in the district of South Derbyshire, in Derbyshire, England, sitting close to the county boundaries with Leicestershire and Staffordshire. It lies a few miles from the market towns of Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote, set in gently undulating farmland and woodland that forms part of the wider National Forest restoration area.
Historically a rural settlement that expanded during the 19th century with local coal, clay and related industries, the village today mixes commuter households with long‑standing local families and small businesses. Community life centres on village amenities, the parish church and a handful of traditional pubs, while the surrounding countryside and forest planting make it popular for walking and outdoor activities.
