Chatmoss is a census-designated place (CDP) in Henry County, Virginia, United States.

[3] That name probably derives from "Chat Moss", a large area of peat bog near Manchester, UK.

In turn, that bog may be named after St Chad, or even from the Celtic word ced, meaning wood.

Low-lying areas around Chatmoss were boggy wetlands prone to flooding from Leatherwood Creek before mitigation by several dams.

[5] The Chatmoss property was long owned by Harden Hairston, who inherited it, but it was later sold by a descendant to the developers of the country club on the site.
