Halford is a village and parish in Warwickshire about three miles north of Shipston-on-Stour. The village is where the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) crosses the River Stour. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 341.[1]

By the river are the earthworks and buried remains of Halford Castle, a motte castle believed to be the predecessor of the present manor house.[2]
