Telford is a town in Shropshire. It is a New Town, named after the engineer Thomas Telford. The town was built in the 1960s and 1970s on previously industrial and agricultural land.

The town is dominated by the Wrekin, a large hill of 1,335 feet found sout-west of Wellington. The town is within the council area of Telford and Wrekin.
