Dyserth railway station served the village of Dyserth, Flintshire (now Denbighshire), Wales. It was the southern terminus of the 2 miles 70 chains (4.6 km) Dyserth branch, most of which is now a public footpath. At its peak Dyserth had passengers in the thousands.

Despite being closed the station site was host to two LMS caravans from 1934 to 1939. The line remained open to serve a quarry at Dyserth until complete closure in 1973.

The railway between Prestatyn and Dyserth, long since lifted and formerly with sidings in the village, is now a public walkway and nature trek. It has a 9-hole golf course, which is split in half by the former railway/nature walk. The local school, St. Melyd Primary, is a feeder school to the High School, Prestatyn. Meliden's football club, Meliden F.C., reformed in 2008, joining the Clwyd Football League.Above the village is the limestone hill of Graig Fawr (153 metres, 502 feet) which belongs to the National Trust. The views from the crag include the coast from Llandudno to the Wirral, Snowdonia, neighbouring Moel Hiraddug, and many other hills of North Wales.
