Dresden is a southern district of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, situated on the Trentham Road (A5035), to the south of, and part of, the town of Longton.

The district was developed in the 19th century by the Duke of Sutherland and was originally called Spratslade. It was later renamed in honour of the German city of Dresden.

The composer Havergal Brian was born in Dresden in 1876.

The area was home to Dresden United F.C., a football team which was active in the late 19th century.
