Ditherington is a suburb of the town of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire, England. It is the fourth most deprived ward in the Shropshire unitary authority area.
There has been much regeneration work in the southern part of Ditherington, which is close to Shrewsbury town centre. Various residential developments have occurred, but little has been finished.
Ditherington was the location of the Arriva Midlands (former Midland Red) Shrewsbury bus depot until 2012, when it was replaced by a newly built one in Harlescott. The Ditherington depot was then demolished and acquired by the nearby Flax Mill, but as of July 2024 is still a blank canvas.
