Lodi Township was a township that existed in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, from 1826 to 1935.

Lodi Township was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature, on March 1, 1826, from the southern portion of New Barbadoes Township.

On February 22, 1840, Hudson County was created from territories that had been Bergen Township (1693) and from the southern portion of Lodi Township. The portion of Lodi Township taken at this time formed the new Harrison Township in Hudson County. The border between the newly created Harrison Township in Hudson County and the portion of Lodi Township remaining in Bergen County was the New Barbadoes Turnpike, which is now called Paterson Plank Road.

In 1852, some of the residents of the northern portion of Harrison Township requested to be returned to Bergen County. This area — which had been part of Lodi Township — was returned to Bergen County as Union Township.
