Ferdinand is a town in Essex County, Vermont, United States. It was named after German Prince Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand of Brunswick-Lunenburg.^[1] Although incorporated, it was never formally organized since it never gained a sufficiently large permanent population.

It is part of the Berlin, NH –VT Micropolitan Statistical Area.
