Batham Gate is a Roman road in Derbyshire that forms part of the network of military and commercial routes established during the Roman occupation of Britain. The road is believed to date from the Roman period, likely constructed or developed during the early imperial phases of Roman Britain to facilitate movement between settlements and forts in the region. The surviving sections of the road retain characteristic features typical of Roman road construction, including evidence of its engineered surface and drainage systems. Batham Gate represents an important aspect of the Roman infrastructure that connected the Peak District landscape to wider Roman Britain and served strategic purposes for the occupying administration.
