= Herbert, Idaho = Herbert is a ghost town located in Madison County, Idaho, United States. Herbert was an active farming community until the mid–1940's, when the town was almost completely abandoned.

At it's height in the early 20th century Herbert's population was estimated to be around 150 people, almost all of them farmers or those who worked in the nearby mines. At one point Herbert had one schoolhouse and one general store that operated until the mid–1930's. After automobiles became mass–produced and easier to access in the 1940's, the citizens of the town began to relocate to larger towns nearby, such as Rigby and Rexburg, which were each within thirteen miles of Herbert. Remnants and rock foundations of some of the buildings are still visible today.

Herbert is approximately 24 miles northeast of Idaho Falls.
