Axe Edge Moor is the major moorland southwest of Buxton in the Peak District, England.

Its highest point (551 metres (1,808 ft)) is at grid reference SK035706.

This is slightly lower than Shining Tor (which is some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the northwest, across the modest dip of the incipient Goyt Valley).

It boasted England's second-highest public house (the Cat and Fiddle Inn), which closed in 2015 before reopening as a distillery.

The moor is shared between the counties of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire, which meet on its southwestern flank at Three Shire Heads on the Dane.
