Rhuddlan is a town in the administrative county of Denbighshire, traditional county of Flintshire, north Wales, lying on the River Clwyd. It is effectively a suburb of Rhyl. The town gave its name to the Welsh district of Rhuddlan from 1974 to 1996.
The town is known for the ruins of Rhuddlan Castle, built by Edward I of England from 1277 to 1282 and the site of another castle at Twt Hill.
The town was also the location where Edward I signed the Statute of Rhuddlan, laying down the way by which Wales was to be governed.
