Brough, or Brough-on-Noe, is a hamlet in the Hope Valley of northern Derbyshire, on the south side of the River Noe, a tributary of the upper River Derwent which runs down the valley. A mile to the east, downstream, is another hamlet, Shatton, with which it forms a little civil parish ('Brough and Shatton')

Both hamlets are in the High Peak, with a combined population of just 136 at the 2011 Census. There is a friendly rivalry between the two hamlets, which contest numerous sports competitions throughout the year.
