Nine Ladies is a Bronze Age stone circle located in Derbyshire in the UK. The circle consists of ten standing stones. There are nine upright stones, each of local millstone grit, each less than a metre high, in a clearing in a modern wood planted on Stanton Moor. They sit in a rough circle with a gap at the south side of the circle where no stone-hole has been found. However, an additional stone, lying flat rather than upright, was discovered after being exposed as a crop mark in the dry weather of 1976. It is now visible.
The site is run and owned by English Heritage. Local Druids and Pagans come to the site to celebrate the summer solstice.
