Peak District er et højlandsområde i det centrale og nordlige England, øst for Manchester. Det meste ligger i Derbyshire, men også indenfor Cheshire, Staffordshire samt South og West Yorkshire. Det meste af området er inkluderet i Peak District nationalpark, som var den første nationalparken i Storbritannien. Parkgrænserne blev trukket sådan at man undgik at få byer med, men Buxton er praktisk talt omringet af parken.
Området inddeles gerne i den nordlige del Dark Peak, hvor man finder mget moselandskab, og den sydlige White Peak som er det mest befolkede område. Ifølge parkmyndighederne er Peak District verdens næst mest populære nationalpark.
White Peak er et kalkstensområde, hvilket medfører at der er mange grotter. Under Dark Peak finder man skifer og sandsten. Det højeste punkt er toppen på Kinder Scout.
