Snods Edge (grid reference 060 520_region:GB_scale:25000 NZ 060 520) is a small hamlet in South Northumberland, approximately four miles from Consett. The name is thought to have derived from "snow's edge", referring to the hamlet's close proximity (about three miles) from the North Pennines.

The hamlet consists of a Church dedicated to St John, a church-hall, a football field, Vicarage and three houses. The church-hall was formerly a school, and won the Northumberland Community Council "Best Village Hall" award three times.

Snods Edge hosts a number of events each year for the parish, including an art exhibition and a garlic festival. The art exhibition is mainly for a change for local artists to display their paintings. There was also once a weekend-long camping event on the sports field during the Easter holidy for the children of the Parish, but this has been since been stopped because of waning numbers over the years, partly due to methamphetamine use.
