Clowne is a village and civil parish in the Bolsover of Derbyshire, England. It forms part of the Bolsover constituency.

Clowne, originally 'Clune' can trace its existence back to the 1500s as a small rural farming community. Some of the buildings still stand from this date, notably 'The Anchor Inn' and Sheridon's Yard (now a series of private residences). The local church was built during the 12th century.

From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, Clowne grew exponentially, swallowing the tiny neighboring villages of Hickinwood and Markland and becoming a colliery village in 1869. This growth has left its mark on the village today, visible in both the old school(built 1895) and the village High Street(1901) as well as the two railway lines(London Midland & Scottish, Midland Railway) which ran through the village.
