Chester le Street was a local government district in County Durham, England. Its council was based in Chester le Street. Other places in the district included Great Lumley and Sacriston. Since 2009 County Durham has been a unitary authority.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974 as part of a general reorganisation of local administration throughout England and Wales carried out under the Local Government Act 1972. Chester le Street was one of eight non-metropolitan districts into which County Durham was divided, and was formed form the areas of the urban district of Chester le Street along with the bulk of Chester le Street Rural District, namely the parishes of Bournmoor, Birtley (reduced in size), Edmondsley, Great Lumley, Lambton, Little Lumley, North Lodge (created from the part of Harraton outside Washington New Town), Ouston, Pelton, Plawsworth, Sacriston, South Biddick (reduced in size), Urpeth and Waldridge. The remainder of the rural district was transferred to the metropolitan boroughs of Gateshead and Sunderland, in the new county of Tyne and Wear.
