Queensferry 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, which is not considered a part of Queensferry today, but still lends it names to many of Queensferry's features, including the leisure centre.

On the town's area is the Deeside Leisure Centre, a sports and leisure venue which also used to host concerts such as Bob Marley in the summer of 1980. It also includes an ice rink. The Deeside Leisure Centre is usually attributed to Chester, England.
