Sherford is a new town under construction in Devon, England. Part of the land for development lies within Plymouth and the rest with the South Hams. Development on the site was originally due to start in 2007 and its first 300 dwellings were to be built in 2009.

In September 2014, the construction of the new town finally started on the first 700 homes^[1] after South Hams council accepted a new planning application in December 2011. A new swimming pool will also be built in the town.^[2]

Once completed, it is expected to have 5,500 dwellings.^[3] The town planning will use traditional urbanisation to make the town carbon neutral by constructing energy efficient buildings and laying out the town so that people live close to a main street. The aim is that shops, schools and businesses will be within walking distance of residents' homes.^[4]

Its namesake is an old, well-established village with over 1000 years of verifiable history. It is situated 2 miles east of Kingsbridge in the South Hams, 15 miles east of the new development.
