Barnby Moor is a small civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, situated a few miles from the market town of Retford. It occupies a quiet, largely agricultural setting of fields and lanes rather than a dense urban centre, so the landscape and easy access to nearby towns help define its character.

Historically the settlement has modest medieval roots and retains examples of traditional brick and stone buildings and a handful of listed structures, reflecting its long rural past. Today the local economy remains tied to farming, with a significant number of residents commuting to larger centres; community life is small-scale and neighbourly, centred on local gatherings and the village’s shared facilities rather than on commercial activity.
