Fords is a census-designated place (CDP)[9] in Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey, in the United States.

[3] The area originally known as "Fords Corner" abuts neighboring Edison, part of which was once within Woodbridge Township, until an act of legislature in April 1870 apportioned land to what was then called Raritan Township.

[13][14][15] The community is in northeastern Middlesex County, in the southwest part of Woodbridge Township.

Within the township it is bordered to the north by Menlo Park Terrace and Iselin, to the east by the Woodbridge CDP, to the southeast by Hopelawn, and to the south by Keasbey.

The New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95) crosses the middle of Fords from west to east, while the Garden State Parkway forms much of the eastern border of the community.

U.S. Route 1 crosses the northern part of Fords, paralleling the New Jersey Turnpike.
