Stanage Edge Roman road is a Roman period routeway located on the gritstone plateau of Stanage Edge in Derbyshire. The road represents part of the Roman communication network that connected settlements and military installations across the Peak District during the occupation of Britain, likely dating to the first and second centuries AD. The route shows evidence of Roman engineering practices adapted to the challenging upland terrain, with the road surface and associated features remaining visible on the landscape. The monument reflects the strategic importance of the trans-Pennine routes for maintaining Roman control and facilitating trade and military movement across northern Britain.
