Dhu Varren is a railway halt in the townland of Glenmanus at the western edge of Portrush in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is an unstaffed halt on the Coleraine-Portrush railway line, less than a mile from the terminus, with a single platform.
It was opened on 10 February 1969 mainly to cater for travel to the station at Coleraine University.
It has a surviving "somersault" type semaphore signal.
