Youlgreave or Youlgrave ⓘ is a village and civil parish in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England, on the River Bradford 2+1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) south of Bakewell. The name possibly derives from "yellow grove", the ore mined locally being yellow in colour. The population in 1991 was 1,256; it is one of the largest villages in the Peak District National Park.
The village has three public houses (the George Hotel, Farmyard Inn and Bull's Head Hotel), and a British Legion club.
