Over Haddon is a small village in Derbyshire, England. It is located near the small town of Bakewell, near the B5055 road.

Over Haddon overlooks Lathkill Dale and the River Lathkill, which may be crossed by a clapper bridge on a footpath running south from the village. It has two churches, a public house, and a car park. The former head of MI6, Maurice Oldfield (allegedly the inspiration for 'M' in the James Bond books[1]) was born, and is buried, in the village.[2]

The name "Haddon" means "Heath Hill", the "Over" referring to being above "Nether Haddon" (Haddon Hall).[3]

The site of a deserted medieval village, Conksbury, is on the south bank of the River Lathkill, between Over Haddon and Youlgreave.
