Winsford is a town and civil parish now within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It lies on the River Weaver south of Northwich and west of Middlewich, and grew around the salt mining industry after the river was canalised in the 18th century, allowing freight to be conveyed northwards to the Port of Runcorn on the River Mersey.

Winsford is split into two neighbourhoods: Over on the western side of the River Weaver and Wharton on the eastern side.

The local hamlets and villages of Moulton, Darnhall, Stanthorne, Whitegate and Wettenhall are all within the town's limits and use the town's resources.
