Chirkland (Welsh: Swydd y Waun) was a marcher lordship in north-east Wales.
It was created in 1282 from parts of Powys Fadog granted to Roger Mortimer de Chirk, third son of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer of Wigmore,[1] who then built Chirk Castle from where the lordship was administered.
Chirkland continued to be ruled as a separate lordship until the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542.
After this time, Chirkland became the Hundred of Chirk in the newly created Denbighshire.
Swydd y Waun was the name of a cantref in the medieval Kingdom of Powys.
