Beeley is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of northern Derbyshire, near Bakewell. It is on the B6012 road, between Rowsley and Edensor.

It is part of the Peak District National Park, and has been part of the Chatsworth estate since the 18th century, when the Duke of Devonshire bought Beeley Hill Top and then much of the property piecemeal. Beeley Old Hall dates from the 17th century.
