Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ be an analytic self-map of the unit disc. If $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ is analytic in a neighbourhood of the closed unit disc, we give a precise formula for the essential norm of the composition operator $C_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}$ on the weighted Dirichlet spaces ${\mathcal{D}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}>0$. We also show that, for a univalent analytic self-map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ of $\mathbb{D}$, if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ has an angular derivative at some point of $\unicode[STIX]{x2202}\mathbb{D}$, then the essential norm of $C_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}$ on the Dirichlet space is equal to one.
