Linfield is an unincorporated village, part of Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It is located approximately 35 miles north-west of Philadelphia, along the Schuylkill River.

Located on the Reading Railroad line to Philadelphia, Linfield was the industrial hub of Limerick Township into the 1960's. Kinseys Distillery, Sanitary Corporation of America and Trinley Mill provided the industrial base for the area.

In October, 2007, the Limerick Township Board of Supervisors announced it is considering a plan to develop an energy generation plant on the site of the former Linfield Industrial Park.^[1]
