Il Middlesex è una contea storica dell'Inghilterra, esistita come entità amministrativa dal 1889 al 1965.Da allora quasi tutto il territorio di cui si componeva (per esempio sobborghi come l'ex capoluogo Brentford, Harrow, Twickenham, etc.) fa parte della Grande Londra a eccezione di Staines e Sunbury-on-Thames, passati sotto l'amministrazione del Surrey, e Potters Bar, oggi in Hertfordshire.Dalla sua soppressione come entità amministrativa, il nome Middlesex esiste solo per ragioni storiche, sportive e culturali.
