Woodford is a small town in Queensland, Australia, on the D'Aguilar Highway 72 km north-west of Brisbane and 24km west of Caboolture. Its Local Government Area is the Moreton Bay Regional Council. The town is noted for its folk festival that takes place over the New Year holidays. The Woodford Correctional Centre is on the outskirts of town.

Woodford is the terminus for the disused Kilcoy branch railway line, which extended from Caboolture to Kilcoy. Between Caboolture (where it branches from the North Coast railway line, Queensland) and Wamuran, the tracks and corridor are mostly still in place. Beyond Wamuran, the railway was removed after its closure in the mid 1960s, and much of the land has been sold.

Woodford is also one of the filming locations from the movie "Undead".
