Kinder Downfall is the tallest waterfall in the Peak District, dropping 30 metres (98 ft) on the River Kinder in northwestern Derbyshire. It was formerly known as Kinder Scut, a name that gave the surrounding plateau — Kinder Scout — its title.

The fall is typically little more than a trickle in summer, but becomes a dramatic spectacle in spate conditions.

A strong westerly wind can blow the water back on itself entirely, sending a visible cloud of spray skyward that can be seen from several miles away. In hard winters, the frozen fall attracts ice climbers.

The Pennine Way crosses the River Kinder just above the waterfall, making Kinder Downfall a well-known landmark on that long-distance route. It also serves as the centrepiece of a fell race that bears its name.
