Rochford is a locality in the Macedon Ranges Shire, in Victoria, Australia, on the Lancefield-Woodend Road (now signposted as the Rochford Road).

The district once contained a number of public and religious buildings, all of which now appear to have been removed or demolished. These included a Public Hall, Anglican Church, Presbyterian Church, and tennis courts.[3]

Rochford Post Office opened on 10 March 1863 and closed in 1965.[4]

The 1857 red brick building, and 1870 principal's residence, of the former Rochford North School (State School 540)[3] are still standing and are now a privately owned luxury holiday rental.[5]
