Leekfrith is a largely rural civil parish in the district of Staffordshire Moorlands in Staffordshire, England, lying to the west of the market town of Leek on the eastern edge of the Peak District. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, moorland, drystone walls and scattered stone cottages and hamlets, making it popular with walkers and people wanting quiet countryside within easy reach of upland scenery.
Local life is centred on agriculture, small businesses and a modest amount of tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The parish also has archaeological interest - the Iron Age gold torcs known as the Leekfrith Hoard were discovered nearby in 2016 - and retains a strong sense of community around village halls, parish events and outdoor pursuits.
