Coombes Valley RSPB reserve (grid reference SK005525) is a nature reserve, run by the RSPB, near the town of Leek in Staffordshire, England. It is best known for its breeding woodland birds, including common redstart,[1] wood warbler[2] and pied flycatcher.[1] It is also home to the nationally scarce argent and sable moth, a priority species in the UK's Biodiversity Action Plan.[3]

The Combes Brook flows through the valley on its way to the River Churnet.[4]
