Windsor Borough Police was the police force responsible for policing the borough of Windsor in Berkshire, England until 1947.[1]

It had been established in 1836 as a result of the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. Windsor Borough Police was amalgamated into Berkshire Constabulary on 1 February 1947 due to the Police Act 1946.[2] The responsibility for policing Windsor Castle was, and still is that of the Metropolitan Police.[3]

Windsor is today policed by the successor to Berkshireshire Constabulary, Thames Valley Police.
