Estrées-Saint-Denis (in French pronounced as /ɛstʁe sɛ̃ dəni/) is a commune in the Oise department in northern France. Estrées-Saint-Denis station has rail connections to Amiens and Compiègne.
It is one of many villages in the north of France bearing the name Estrées.

Hence Estreti, "village on the road" which developed into "Estrées".
