The Alun School is a large secondary school serving the community of Mold, Flintshire, North Wales, and its surrounding villages. It is part of the Flintshire LEA.

As of 2008 the school enrols 1750 students and has over 100 staff members.

The school is sometimes known as 'Mold Alun', often thought to distinguish it from the nearby Castell Alun secondary school in Hope.
