Middlebush is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP)[8] located in Franklin Township, in Somerset County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[9][10][11][12] As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP's population was 2,326.[13] It is perhaps most distinguished as being the host section for Franklin Township's municipal complex.

Middlebush still has a rural feel with 19th-century homes and tree-lined streets. Middlebush was once a stop on the Millstone and New Brunswick Railroad, and this legacy is evident in the street named Railroad Avenue that presently has no railroad tracks in sight.[14]
