Mellor is a village in Greater Manchester, England, lying between Marple Bridge and New Mills, Derbyshire.[1]

Buildings in the village include St. Thomas' Church, a primary school, golf course, sports club, a riding school, three pubs (the Royal Oak,[2] The Devonshire Arms[3] and The Oddfellows Arms[4]) and the late-17th-century Mellor Hall.

The village was a civil parish in the county of Derbyshire until 1936, when it was transferred to Marple Urban District in Cheshire.[5] In 1974, it became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester.
