Doyleston is a minor Canterbury town in the South Island of New Zealand.
It was named after Joseph Hastings Doyle, a publican from Christchurch who moved to the locality.
Doyleston promised to be one of the main townships in the Ellesmere area, but before long Leeston overtook it and some businesses moved there.
Doyleston featured a hall on the main street (the second on the site), but partly due to a car crash it was pulled down, making way for new housing.
Doyleston's main attraction now is Osborne Park, which has been the centre for junior football in Ellesmere for a number of years.
