Chicora is a borough in Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Pennsylvania Route 68 passes through the borough, leading east 9 miles (14 km) to East Brady on the Allegheny River and southwest 11 miles (18 km) to Butler, the county seat.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Chicora has a total area of 0.54 square miles (1.4 km2), all land.

Named the "Chicora Meteor", the 450-tonne (500-short-ton) meteorite exploded approximately 12 miles (19 km) above the Earth's surface.

Its remains were split between the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institution.

The sound and light of the exploding meteor were initially mistaken for an explosion in the powder magazine at West Winfield, and was described by investigators F. W. Preston, E. P. Henderson and James R. Randolph as comparable in destructive power to the Halifax Explosion of 1917.
