Chadlington is an ancient village in Oxfordshire, England, dating back to the time of Domesday Book and is possibly named after Saint Chad..

The village is located approximately 3 miles to the south of Chipping Norton in West Oxfordshire. It is made up of 5 "ends" - almost individual hamlets in their own right - called Green End, Brook End, West End, Mill End, and East End.

The village is home to Chadlington Sports and Social Club, the home ground of Chadlington's football and cricket teams.

Various small businesses thrive in Chadlington. The Village Shop was saved from closure in 2001 by a group of local residents. The Post Office has been reborn as a coffee shop following the closure of the post office counter. Other businesses include a Butcher, Pub, and Furniture Maker.

St Nicholas Church was originally Norman, with many subsequent alterations and additions, including gargoyles and a Green Man. In 2008 the interior was carefully and sensitively updated including a new stone floor and modern facilities to increase the functionality of the church for the community.

The old allotment site is important for the presence of a large population of the wild grape hyacinth. Similar in appearance to the garden variety this is a different species that is very rare and this is the only Oxfordshire location.

At the 2001 census, its population was under 2,000. Chadlington is the birthplace of Sir Henry Rawlinson, and his younger brother, Canon George Rawlinson.

Conservative Party Leader David Cameron buried his son Ivan in Chadlington.
