Midford is a village three miles south of Bath, Somerset, England.

The village is dominated by the former viaduct of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway and by the remains of a lesser viaduct that once carried the Somerset Coal Canal, and later the Great Western branch line from Limpley Stoke to Camerton. Midford railway station served the village until 1966.

On the hillside above Midford is Midford Castle, a late 18th century folly castle built in the shape of the ace of clubs (♣).
