Windsor is a small town located in northern Colorado in the counties of Weld and Larimer. According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 14,874.

It is located on the western edge of the county, the Cache la Poudre River runs through the town, on a high ground suitable for a railroad. It is approximately half-way between Fort Collins and Greeley on the BNSF Railway, and somewhat near the midpoint of a triangle formed by those two cities and Loveland. The centralized location of the town has given rise to rapid growth in the last two decades.

Windsor Lake , a small reservoir in the irrigation system of Weld County, is one block north of the BNSF tracks. The lake is a popular spot for fishing. In the last decade, part of the perimeter of the lake has been rimmed with a bikepath. The current plans for a bicycle trail throughout the Colorado Front Range include a segment that connects to the local paths, and then to Fort Collins and Greeley along the north bank of the Poudre.

The recent 1990s development on the western edge, on the bluff overlooking the Poudre, is of modern subdivision type, and includes a golf course. The residential population of the new development includes day commuters to Fort Collins, Denver, Loveland, and other communities in the area.

Windsor is located at 40.477333, -104.911812.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 38.7 km² (15.0 mi²). 37.9 km² (14.6 mi²) of it is land and 0.8 km² (0.3 mi²) of it (2.07%) is water.
