Cotmanhay is a village in Derbyshire, England,^[1]^[2] and used to be a Viking settlement. Cotmanhay is in the Erewash Borough Council area, north of Ilkeston. Recently a flint implement was found at the edge of Cotmanhay Wood, indicating that the area was inhabited several thousand years BC.^[3] The Erewash ward population at the 2011 Census was 4,531.^[4]

The neighbourhood's two main industries were textiles and coal mining, the latter from 1848 until 1880.

The 2019 Multiple deprivation index found the area around Skeavingtons Lane to be the most deprived area in Derbyshire.^[5]^[6]
