Hope (Welsh: Yr Hôb) is a small village and community in Flintshire, north-east Wales. The village is located approximately 3 miles / 4.5 km from the Wales-England border, on the course of the River Alyn, and less than 5 miles from Wrexham.

Hope is one of several villages including Caergwrle, Abermorddu and Cefn-y-bedd which together form the community. At the 2001 Census, community the population was 2,522,[1] increasing to 4,224 at the 2011 Census partly due to boundary changes.[2] One of the major features in the area is Hope Mountain (Mynydd yr Hob), to the west of the village.
