St Deiniol's Church, Hawarden, is in the village of Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. in October 1857 it was gutted by fire and Sir George Gilbert Scott was called in to rebuild the destroyed roofs of the nave, chancel and aisles and also provide an organ gallery, pulpit, screen and other fittings, including the font. The tower, bell and clock all survived.

Politician William Glynne Charles Gladstone, grandson of the former Prime Minister, is buried here.
