Over Haddon is a small village in Derbyshire, Great Britain. It is located near the small town of Bakewell, near the B5055 road.
Over Haddon is very close to the River Lathkill, which may be crossed by a clapper bridge on a footpath running south from the village, and to Lathkill Dale. It has two churches, a public house, and a car park. The former head of MI6, Maurice Oldfield, was born, and is buried, in the village.
The site of a deserted medieval village, Conksbury, is on the south bank of the River Lathkill, between Over Haddon and Youlgreave.
