The Moss is a brook in North East Derbyshire, England.

When Rother Valley Country Park was built in 1980s, they used water from The Moss to fill the lakes.

The name of the river derives from Moss Beck, which means 'stream through marshy ground'.

The Moss' source can be found just to the east of Jordanthorpe Parkway (B6057 road). The source is a natural spring which lies in an area of woodland called Coalpit Wood.

The river flows through the Moss Valley and through the villages of Geerlane, Birleyhay, Ford and Eckington. Several areas of woodland are traversed, these include Coalpit Wood, Long Wood and Eckington Park.The main tributaries of The Moss are the Robin Brook, the Owler Car Brook, Sickle Brook, Troway Brook, Sloadlane Brook, and Ridgeway Brook.

The Moss flows into the River Rother in Eckington, Derbyshire, near Eckington Mine.

Moss Valley is the name of the valley carved out by The Moss, located in North East Derbyshire, just south of Sheffield, England. Nearby settlements include Charnock, Troway, Eckington, Mosborough, and Ridgeway.

Moss Valley is home to the Eckington Woods and Bluebell Woods, the latter being a local term coined because of the quantity of bluebells which cover the woods in the springtime.
