Kentford is a village and civil parish located in the West Suffolk District in eastern England. Situated on the banks of the River Kennet, the village is positioned on the B1506 road connecting Newmarket to Bury St. Edmunds (4 miles northeast of Newmarket and 9 miles west of Bury St. Edmunds). The village is served by the Kennett railway station, located just off the A14, which offers an indirect railway connection to London via Cambridge.

The village fell within the St. Edmundsbury District of the county between 1974 and 2019 and within the West Suffolk District since then. In the era when counties were divided into hundreds it was split between the Lackford and Risbridge Hundred.

Kentford is also part of the Newmarket petty sessional division, Mildenhall union and county court district, rural deanery of Newmarket, archdeaconry of Sudbury, and diocese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich. The population of Kentford was estimated to be 1,125 as of 2021.
