Alsop en le Dale is a tiny village in Derbyshire, England. Located some 5 miles north of Ashbourne, it lies close to the Staffordshire border, and is only a mile from Dovedale, a popular tourist location.

Comprising only a few cottages and scattered farms, there is also a significant church. The church of St. Michael and All Angels is of Norman origin, but was restored in the 19th century. The church also serves the hamlets of Alsop Moor, Cold Eaton and Newton Grange.

Alsop Hall, located opposite the church, was built in the late 16th century for the Alsop family.

The village formerly had a station served by the railway line connecting Ashbourne to Buxton. Located to the west and above the village itself, the station is a now a car-park and access point for the Tissington Trail, a 13 mile (21km) bridleway and walk/cycle path which utilizes this section of the line. Opened in 1971, this is part of the National Cycle Network.

The village is also a convenient starting point for walks into scenic Wolfscote Dale, which lies on the River Dove between Dovedale and Hartington village.
