Chitterne is a village and civil parish in the county of Wiltshire, in the southwest of England. The village lies in the middle of Salisbury Plain, about 7 miles (11 km) east of the town of Warminster.

The Chitterne Brook, a small tributary of the River Wylye, flows southwest through the village.

A large settlement of 60 households, held by Edward of Salisbury, was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Chitterne was one of many Wiltshire estates owned in the 12th century by Ela, 3rd Countess of Salisbury.

Until 1907 there were two ancient parishes, Chitterne St. Mary to the west and Chitterne All Saints to the east. Their villages were adjacent and each had a small parish church. In the 19th century they became two civil parishes, and in 1907 they were combined to form the single Chitterne civil parish.
