Holme Pierrepont is a hamlet and civil parish located 5 miles (8 km) south-east of the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England.

Pierrepont is northern French for "Stone Bridge" and is the surname of an Anglo-Norman family that once held the manor.

There is evidence that Holme Pierrepont was settled by farming communities at least as long ago as the Neolithic era.

In 1960 the Central Electricity Generating Board put forward a proposal to build a 2,000 MW power station on a 525 acre (213 ha) site at Holme Pierrepoint.

The site was large enough for a second 2,000 MW station, making potentially a total of 4 chimneys and 16 cooling towers.
