Sheldon is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, England. It is best known for being the closest village to Magpie Mine, a lead mine with an engine house built in the Cornish style.

Sheldon is too small to have a parish council so administrative matters are dealt with by its parish meeting, an unelected group of village residents chaired by an elected spokesperson.
