map_caption = The River Amber is a river in Derbyshire, England which rises clos to the village of Ashover, near Clay Cross, and flows southwards through Ogston Reservoir to Pentrich then westwards to join the River Derwent at Ambergate. It gives its name to the local government district and borough of Amber Valley.

Like many such rivers flowing from the Derbyshire, it gave a good supply for water mills, many of them for crushing locally mined and quarried minerals, such as limestone.

The river valley also provided a route for the Cromford Canal at the southern end and the North Midland Railway to travel north wards till it entered the Clay Cross Tunnel to pass under Clay Cross and enter the River Rother valley and continue north to Chesterfield.
