Chapel Milton Viaduct is a Grade II listed bifurcated railway viaduct on the Great Rocks Line at its junction with the Hope Valley Line, straddling the Black Brook valley in Chapel Milton, Derbyshire, England. The first section of the viaduct, built by the Midland Railway in 1867, diverges and curves to the west while the second, built in 1890, curves to the east as the line, coming up from the south, links up with the main line between Sheffield and Manchester.

The erection of this viaduct on the new line to Manchester will open up the shortest and most agreeable route to the "northern metropolis," and many passengers will probably travel by the Midland Railway in summer for the sake of the charming scenery, independently of the advantage of time and distance, as this line [...] runs through the choicest parts of the Derbyshire hills. The Midland extension leaves the Rowsley and Buxton line at about six miles below Buxton, and after a course of twelve miles through the mountains, close to the "peak" of Derbyshire, it forms a junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Companies' new line from Manchester to Hayfield at New Mills. Through a country of such a character the railway, all might be expected, has large works, the principal of which are a tunnel one and a-half miles in length and the viaduct we have just described.

Chapel Milton Viaduct is a Grade II listed bifurcated railway viaduct on the Great Rocks Line at its junction with the Hope Valley Line, straddling the Black Brook valley in Chapel Milton, Derbyshire, England. The first section of the viaduct, built by the Midland Railway in 1867, diverges and curves to the west while the second, built in 1890, curves to the east as the line, coming up from the south, links up with the main line between Sheffield and Manchester. Originally built to carry express trains from London St Pancras to Manchester London Road, the viaduct now carries a freight-only line transporting limestone from the quarries and works around Buxton. The viaduct is a significant and dominant structure within the small hamlet, which is largely characterised by its presence. It also passes over the Peak Forest Tramway, an early industrial railway operational from 1796. Since July 2019, an aerial shot of the double viaduct has featured in the opening titles of the regional news programme BBC North West Tonight.
