Stanford is a village and civil parish in Kent, England.

Stanford Windmill and parish church of All Saints are in the village.

Folkestone Racecourse was located here; during World War II it served as the RAF Westenhanger airfield, and eventually closed for redevelopment in December 2012.

In 2023 the local authority granted planning permission for 8,500 homes at the Otterpool Park site[3][4] which extends from Westenhanger station to the edges of Sellindge and Lympne.

Westenhanger railway station serves the parish on the Ashford to Dover line, as well as local buses to Hythe.
