Times Beach is a ghost town in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, 17 miles southwest of St. Louis and 2 miles east of Eureka. Once home to more than two thousand people, the town was completely evacuated in early 1983 due to TCDD (a type of dioxin) contamination, formerly the largest civilian exposure to the compound in the history of the United States.

In 1985, the State of Missouri officially disincorporated the city of Times Beach. The site of Times Beach now houses a 419-acre state park which opened in 1999. The park commemorates U.S. Route 66, as well as the history of the Times Beach area. The famous U.S. Route 66 highway that stretches from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California passed though the community on its southern end. In 2001, the EPA removed Times Beach from its Superfund list.
