Cosford is a village in Shropshire, England. It lies between the town of Shifnal and the large village of Albrighton. It has a railway station and from spring 2008 a direct train service to London is expected to be provided by Wrexham & Shropshire.

The village is dominated by RAF Cosford, now known officially as DCAE Cosford. It is also the home of one of the sites of the Royal Air Force museum.
