Chelmer Village is a suburb on the east side of Chelmsford, Essex, England. It was developed as a planned extension to Chelmsford and incorporates housing, retail and industrial development. Construction was started in 1978 by Countryside Residential PLC on the previously greenfield land. It was part of the civil parish of Springfield when first built, until a new civil parish called Chelmer covering the area was created in 2023.
