Sidford is a small village in the civil parish of and on the outskirts of the town of Sidmouth in the English county of Devon. It has a population of just over 2100 people according to the 2001 Census.

It is on the River Sid, which runs for four miles into Lyme Bay at Sidmouth. There is a 12th-century packhorse bridge over the river that was the site of a 1644 skirmish in the English Civil War.

In the village centre there is a small Spar supermarket, a post office, a pharmacy and a fish and chip shop, Bloaters. There is also a hairdresser, a legal centre, a sports injury clinic, a pub called the Rising Sun and a veterinary surgery.

Sidford's most famous pub is the Blue Ball Inn, a 14th-century lodging house that burned to the ground in 2007 and is now rebuilt.
