Chirpan (Bulgarian: Чирпан, pronounced [tʃirˈpan]) is a town on the Tekirska River in Stara Zagora Province of south-central Bulgaria.

Upon his return from the Council of Sardica, Saint Athanasius established the first Christian monastery in Europe circa 344 near modern-day Chirpan in Bulgaria.

Chirpan was the birthplace of Ottoman Turkish soldier Abdülkerim Nadir Pasha, and the Bulgarian poet Peyo Yavorov, whose native house is now a museum.

53% of the land is in cultivation, with major crops from wheat, sunflowers, cotton, grapes, and fruit trees.

There is a 139 hectare Natura 2000 Special Protection Area for preservation of avian habitat along the Tekirska River.
