Chainpur is one of the largest villages of Saharsa District in the Indian state of Bihar in North-East India, and is in the Kosi Division. Chainpur has a number of tolas and occasionally called Pubari, Pachhwari, Uttarwari and Dakshinwari tola.

Chainpur is part of Kahra Block. Chainpur is located in among Bariahi, Bangaon, Parari and Mahishi.

Chainpur and its surrounding areas are a flat alluvial plain forming part of the Kosi river basin. This makes the land very fertile.

Flooding is a major reason for the poor connectivity of the area as bridges tend to get washed away.

Paddy, wheat, moong, maize, sugarcane etc. are the main crops of this village. vegetables viz. potato, cauliflower, brinjal, carrot, raddish, lady finger etc., are cultivated in this village.

Kaali puja, Holi and Durga Puja are the main festival of Chainpur. Janmashtami, shivaratri, hanuman jayanti etc. are also celebrated with full zest and fervour.
