Dunster is a small farming community in the Robson Valley region of British Columbia, Canada. It is located 31 km east of McBride and 37 km west of Tête Jaune Cache, and 10 km north of Croydon. Dunster is home to one of the few remaining, original and least altered Grand Trunk Pacific Railway stations.

Dunster was named after Dunster, England. Railroad manager, H.P. Hinton chose the name from a list provided to him by Josiah Wedgwood. The station was constructed in 1913. The Dunster Post Office was opened 1 December 1915 with George Hall as the first postmaster. In 1921 Mrs A. McDonald became postmaster.
