Denby Pottery Company Ltd is a British manufacturer of pottery, and is named after the village of Denby in Derbyshire.

Salt-glazed pottery was first produced at Denby in 1809 by local businessman William Bourne. He passed the enterprise on to his son Joseph Bourne, whose name the pottery then took and under whose management the business grew to become highly successful.

The company, whose name is now principally associated with stoneware, initially produced bottles and jars, before specialising in kitchenware and, eventually, in tableware, for which it is best known today.
