Redcliff is a town situated in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe, with a population of approximately 35,000 (as of 2002). It lies about north-east of Bulawayo.

The town sits in an extremely iron-rich area, and has relied on steel production as a source of revenue since it was founded in the early part of the 20th century. The Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company (ZISCO, formerly RISCO, founded in 1942), which is based in Redcliff, was the town's largest employer until it closed down in 2008.
