1) Go to Administration in JIRA
2) Go to Issue Fields > Custom Fields
3) On the page that lists the custom fields, hover the mouse over the "Edit" hyperlink in the "Operations" column
4) It should have a URL like: http://localhost:8080/secure/admin/EditCustomField!default.jspa?id=10000
5) The ID=XXXX contains the ID value of the custom field. In the example above, the ID is simply 10000

If you use https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.decadis.xtools-for-jira/server/overview, the IDs of every configuration element will be shown next to the name:-)

you can find at Administration > Custom Fields - just hover over the Edit dropdown from the cog on right side of the custom field

Are you sure about this?? I checked it, and found out that custom field ID is not given there..

yes, we can find that when you hover the edit option then left side down corner you see the full url with id or when you click on edit option then on url you can see the id (it will show as: http://localhost:8080/secure/admin/EditCustomField!default.jspa?id=10001)
