Holme Pierrepont is a hamlet and civil parish located 5 miles (8 km) south-east of the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England. It is in the Gamston ward of the Rushcliffe local authority in the East Midlands region. The population of the civil parish (which envelops Adbolton, Bassingfield and a fringe portion of Lady Bay) as at the 2011 census was 528,^[1] and this reported 568 residents at the 2021 census.^[2]

The word Holme comes from the Old English and Old Norse words for a small island or low-lying land by a river. Pierrepont is northern French for "Stone Bridge" and is the surname of an Anglo-Norman family that once held the manor. Henry Perpount, of Holme by Nottingham, appears as a defendant in a Common Pleas record of 1433.^[3]
