Springfield is a suburb of Chelmsford in Essex, England, lying to the north-east of the city centre. It was historically a separate village which has been gradually absorbed into the built up area of Chelmsford. Springfield is also a civil parish. The old village of Springfield was removed from the parish in 1907 and transferred into the municipal borough of Chelmsford. The modern civil parish covers therefore does not include the area around the old village after which it is named, but instead covers areas of more modern housing development to the north-east of the old village.
At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 21,389. Since the 2021 census the parish has ceded further territory to the two new civil parishes of Chelmer and Chelmsford Garden, both created in 2023.
