Britford is a village and civil parish situated 1 mile southeast of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England, just off the A338 and on the bank of the River Avon. It is bounded by the much larger village of Alderbury to the southeast.

The village has both a church and a Church of England primary school. In addition, the main road of the village has a Park and Ride service for Salisbury, and it is very close to Salisbury District Hospital.

The village is shaped like a horseshoe and contains many quaint houses. It is surrounded by beautiful river-valley countryside. But because it is so close to Salisbury, there are good connections with the city and it affords an excellent view of Salisbury Cathedral.
