Middlebush is an unincorporated area and community located within Franklin Township in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. It is perhaps most distinguished as being the host section for Franklin Township's municipal complex.

Middlebush still has quite 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.[1]
