Doniford is a seaside village close to Watchet, in the West Somerset district of Somerset, England.

Doniford Halt is a halt on the heritage West Somerset Railway, built in 1987 to serve the nearby Haven Holiday centre.

Doniford House has late medieval origins and was enlarged circa 1600.[1]

Beside the beach is an early 19th century lime kiln which is thought to have been in operation until the 1930s.[2]
