Chancelade (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃slad]; Occitan: Chancelada) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
The village is the site of Chancelade Abbey.
The so-called "Chancelade man" was found in the nearby Raymonden rock shelter in 1888, the skeleton of an approximately 60-year-old male who was buried there in the Magdalenian, roughly 15,000 years ago.
