Linwood is a small unincorporated community located in the northern portion of Bay County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is included in the Bay City Metropolitan Statistical Area. The community is on the boundary between Fraser Township on the north and Kawkawlin Township on the south. M-13 passes to the west and the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron is on the east. Bay City is about 12 miles to the south.

The Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area is three miles to the north while the Tobico Marsh is three miles to the south. Both are popular places for bird observation and the Wildlife Area is popular with seasonal waterfowl hunters.

The name Linwood comes from the words "line" and "wood", as it was on the line between two different townships and it was also heavily wooded. Former names included Terry's and Terry's Station.

Every August, the Pickle Festival is held in Linwood.
