Pilsley is a rural village in Northeast Derbyshire, near Chesterfield. Many people think that Pilsley and Lower Pilsley, a smaller village just below Pilsley, make one village, but some of the local residents disagree.

Pilsley has an Anglican church, St. Mary's church, two primary schools, a post office and a Kingdom Hall building for Jehovah's Witnesses. It also had a new sports hall built called the Elm Centre.

The source of the River Rother is at Pilsley.
