Babcock is an census-designated place located in Wood County, Wisconsin, United States.

The community was named for Joseph W. Babcock, a sawmill operator who purchased the site and built a hotel and a depot.

[4][5] Babcock was once an important junction on the Milwaukee Road, with lines running north, east, south, and southwest.

Today, however, only a single track of the Canadian National runs south to Necedah and east to Port Edwards and Wisconsin Rapids.
