Stanton in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England is a small, rural village with a compact historic core of stone cottages and lanes. Like many Derbyshire villages it retains a parish church and a quiet, agricultural character, with hedged fields and farmsteads around the settlement giving it a countryside feel.

The village sits within reach of the former coal and clay-working areas of South Derbyshire and the wider National Forest restoration zone, so its recent history mixes traditional farming with the after‑effects of industrial activity and landscape renewal. Local life tends to be community‑focused, with residents often travelling to nearby market towns such as Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent or Derby for services, shops and rail links.
