Crowden (also known as Crowden-in-Longdendale) is a hamlet in the High Peak borough of Derbyshire, England.

It lies on the trans-Pennine A628 road connecting Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire.

It also lies very close to the Pennine Way long distance footpath, on which it is traditionally the first-night stop after Edale.

A youth hostel, previously operated under a joint management agreement by the Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales) and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, was transferred to the sole management of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and closed (except for use by large groups) in 2014.
