The Bedford CF was a light commercial vehicle produced between 1969 and 1986 by Bedford in Luton. Replacing the CA model in 1969, the CF was designed to rival the Ford Transit which had been in production since 1965.

The vehicle could be specified with a sliding door in the side panel behind the passenger door for ease of access to the rear, but there were also different body styles available. These included a Dormobile (a caravanette) and a general-purpose chassis onto which custom-built bodies or beds could be built.

The Slant Four 1.6 litre and 2.0 litre engines were used in the CF van, which had first been successfully introduced to the Vauxhall Victor FD models. In 1972 the capacities were increased to 1.8 litre and 2.3 litre respectively. A Perkins diesel engine could be specified for an extra £130. In the late 1970s, an electric version was tested and was later available as the Bedford CF-E; a world first for a light commercial vehicle.
