Rowsley (/ˈroʊzli/) is a village on the A6 road in the English county of Derbyshire. The population as at the 2011 census was 507.[3]

It is at the point where the River Wye flows into the River Derwent and prospered from mills on both. The border of the Peak District National Park runs through the village west of the River Wye and immediately to the north of Chatsworth Road. The Peak District Boundary Walk goes through the village.[4]
