Ward Chipman (July 30, 1754 – February 9, 1824) was a New Brunswick lawyer, judge, and political figure.

He became part of a group of loyalists urging that Nova Scotia be partitioned, which led to the creation of New Brunswick.

Chipman represented the British in the negotiations held to establish the province's boundary with the state of Maine.

In 1815, he was named to a second commission charged with settling the boundary with Maine as it applied to islands in Passamaquoddy Bay.

In 1823, Chipman was named colonial administrator after the death of Lieutenant Governor George Stracey Smyth; he died in office at Fredericton in 1824.
