Snitterton is a hamlet in Derbyshire, England, in South Darley parish, of some fifteen properties including two working farms and Snitterton Hall, a late 16th century manor house which is Grade I listed. There are signs that it was once a larger village.

In the centre of Snitterton is a square stone set in the ground with an iron ring; this is an 18th-century bullring, used to tether a bull for baiting with dogs.{{Cite web|title=Snitterton|url=https://www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk/snitterton/|access-date=2021-10-09|website=Peak District Online}}
