Chicklade is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire in southern England. The village is on the A303 road, about 7 miles (11 km) south of Warminster. The parish includes the hamlet of Upper Pertwood.
The Great Ridge Wood, formerly also known as Chicklade Wood, is less than a mile north of the village, just over the parish boundary.
John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–72) describes Chicklade as follows:

On 22 October 1963 the prototype BAC One-Eleven aircraft G-ASHG flown by Mike Lithgow entered a deep stall and crashed near Chicklade, killing all seven crew. (See 1963 BAC One-Eleven test crash)
The Church of England parish church of All Saints was built in 1832 to designs in 12th-century style by J.B. Papworth. It stands on the site of a 12th-century church.
