Abney (Old English Abba's Island) is a village in the English county of Derbyshire. The settlement was mentioned as 'Habenai' in the Domesday book. The village is too small to have its own amenities. The closest church, pub and shops are to be found in Eyam. The village is in the civil parish of Outseats. Abney is mentioned by Agatha Christie in the dedication on the recto page of her "After the Funeral" (1953): "For James in memory of happy days at Abney".
