Danestone is a small, village-like area of Aberdeen, Scotland, located next to the suburb of Bridge of Don.

Located North of Aberdeen City Centre, Danestone is a relatively new area of Aberdeen. The area was all farmland until the 1980s when Danestone Primary School and many detached, semi-detached houses and bungalows were built.

The name Danestone came from the name of Danestone Farm.
