Totley is a suburb on the extreme southwest of the city of Sheffield, in South Yorkshire, England. Lying within the historic county boundaries of Derbyshire, Totley was amalgamated into the city of Sheffield in 1933,^[1] and is today part of the Dore and Totley electoral ward in the city, though it remains close to the contemporary county boundary of Derbyshire. Totley had a population of 7,963 in 2011.^[2]

Totley was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Totinglee, the name meaning a forest clearing belonging to Tota (probably the Saxon lord). Totley Hall, built in 1623 and enlarged in the 19th century, was converted to a teacher training college in the 1950s and was latterly part of Sheffield Hallam University.

Through the district run the Totley Brook and the Old Hay Brook, which meet here to form the River Sheaf. Totley also lends its name to Totley Tunnel, which from 1893 to 2007 was the longest underland main line rail tunnel in the United Kingdom, taking the Sheffield to Manchester line from Totley underneath Totley Moor to Grindleford in Derbyshire. However, there are now longer rail tunnels in Kent and Greater London that were bored in connection with the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (HS1) which opened in 2007, and with the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) which opened in 2022.
