Queensferry ( _cy. Y Fferi Isaf) is a town in Flintshire, North Wales, lying on the River Dee near the border with England.

Queensferry lies along the B5441 and B5129, and is bypassed by the A494 dual carriageway. It is contiguous with Deeside. While Deeside is not considered a part of Queensferry proper, it still lends it names to many of Queensferry's features, including the Deeside Leisure Centre, a sports and leisure venue which also used to host music concerts.
