Yarrowford is a small rural locality in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, located within postcode 2370 in the Glen Innes-Severn area, approximately 25-30 kilometres from Glen Innes. Covering around 89 square kilometres of highland grazing country in the upper reaches of the Northern Tablelands, the locality sits within the Page federal electorate and Northern Tablelands state electorate. With a 2021 Census population of 110 residents, Yarrowford is a sparsely settled farming community with a median household income notably below state averages, consistent with the economic character of this rural highland region.

The locality is characterised by open grazing land, cold winters, and the distinctive New England highland landscape that defines this part of northern New South Wales. Sheep and cattle farming are the primary land uses, and the area shares the agricultural heritage of the broader Glen Innes district, known historically for wool production and beef grazing.
