Chaddesden, also known locally as Chadd, is a large residential suburb of Derby, in the ceremonial county of Derbyshire, England.

Historically a separate village centred on Chaddesden Hall and the 14th century St Mary's Church, the area was significantly expanded by 20th-century housing developments, and became part of the then County Borough of Derby in 1968, prior to Derby's city status in 1977.

The old village, recorded in Domesday Book as "Cedesene",[2] is situated two and a half miles east of the city.

The estate was immediately divided up and re-sold to multiple purchasers, this process sometimes being repeated with the outcome being house building plots.

[4] Roe Farm, formerly at the west end of the parish, was acquired by Derby Corporation in 1930 [5] and became the site of their largest pre-war housing estate.

Chaddesden lies to the east of Derby city centre, with the A52 road forming its southern boundary.

Wyvern Retail Park has a Sainsbury's superstore incorporating an Argos store, Homebase, Halfords, Boots, Carpetright, Next, Tapi, Home Bargains, Costa Drive-Thru and a 24 Hour McDonald's.

Chaddesden village centre has many amenities including a stores, restaurants, an estate agency, chemist, vets, travel agent, newsagent, hairdresser, optician, two public houses and a 29-bedroom hotel.

St Mary's Church was rebuilt by Henry Chaddesden, Archdeacon of Leicester, in approximately 1347;[12] the chancel dates from this period.

It has an ornate rood screen and an unusual chalice shaped font, believed to be over 600 years old.
