The River Noe is a tributary of the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England. It flows approximately 12 miles (19 km) from its source, the confluence of two streams running off Kinder Scout in the Peak District, east through Edale and then southeast through the village of Hope.

The Romans established Navio fort overlooking a tight bend on the River Noe at Brough, which means fort in Old English.[5]
