Cosford is a village in Shropshire, England. It lies between the town of Shifnal and the large village of Albrighton, in the parish of Donington (although Cosford Grange lies in the parish of Albrighton). It has a railway station and from spring 2008 to early 2011, when the service was discontinued, a direct train service to London was provided by Wrexham & Shropshire.
The village is dominated by RAF Cosford, which is also home to the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford, a major visitor attraction and heritage centre.
