Stanfree is a community/village in the Bolsover district of Derbyshire, consisting of a couple of rows of terraced cottages, lying halfway between Shuttlewood and Clowne.

It is mentioned in Bagshaw's directory of 1846 and states "a hamlet about 2 and a quarter miles north from Bolsover market place".

It is thought by some to draw its name from the fact that, though in a stoney neighbourhood, it is free from surface stone, or it may have a Roman or British origin.

Iron seems to have been smelted here in primitive ages, and coal was worked some 500 years ago.

Only the Oxcroft Miners' Welfare, that was destroyed by fire in the late 1980s and rebuilt on the site of the cricket pavilion, is the lasting reminder that a colliery once stood there.
