Radcliff is a home rule-class city in Hardin County, Kentucky, in the United States. The population was 21,961 during the year 2000 U.S. Census. It is included in the Elizabethtown metropolitan area.
Its economy is largely dominated by the adjacent U.S. Army base Fort Knox, and by the nearby city of Elizabethtown. Radcliff's population previously fluctuated greatly depending on the deployments of the units at the base, but the BRAC reorganization of 2005, and the quartering of the U.S. Army's Human Resources Command to Fort Knox has created a larger and more stable population.
Radcliff is located at 37°49′48″N 85°56′44″W / 37.83000°N 85.94556°W (37.829918, -85.945541). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 11.5 square miles (30 km2), of which 11.5 square miles (30 km2) is land and 0.09% is water.
The unincorporated community of Rogersville, named for a local family, extends beside Radcliff along US 31W and KY 447 and is usually considered a part of Radcliff.
