Smisby is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, sitting close to the Leicestershire border and within easy reach of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The settlement occupies a gently rolling agricultural landscape and benefits from nearby pockets of new and re-planted woodland associated with the National Forest, making it popular with walkers and people seeking a rural base not far from larger towns.
The village retains a compact historic core of traditional houses, a village green and a parish church, and there is a quiet, community-minded feel with local events and a parish council coordinating activities. Economically it remains rooted in farming and small local businesses, though many residents commute to regional centres such as Derby and Burton, and the area is valued for its picturesque lanes and heritage rather than heavy industry.
