Rother Vale is an electoral ward within the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. The ward covers a mix of suburban neighbourhoods and semi-rural villages along the corridor of the Rother Valley, with good commuter links into Sheffield and central Rotherham.
Its local character reflects the wider area's industrial past - coal mining and steel-related trades - while today the economy is largely residential and service-oriented. Community life revolves around village halls, pubs, sports clubs and volunteer groups, and the landscape combines reminders of industrial heritage with parkland and countryside valued by local people.
