Hope (Welsh: Yr Hob) is a small village in Flintshire, North Wales.

The village is located approximately 4.5 km from the Wales/England border, on the course of the River Alyn. Hope belongs to a small group of closely related villages in its local area, including Caergwrle, Abermorddu and Cefn-Y-Bedd. One of the major features in the area is Hope Mountain, to the west of the village, along with a recently worked-out quarry to the north.

The local secondary school, Castell Alun High School, is located in the village; there is also a primary school, Ysgol Estyn.

Hope has good transportation links with local towns and cities, notably Wrexham, Chester and Mold, with the Borderlands Line running directly through Hope Station giving access to Liverpool.
