Chaville (French pronunciation: [ʃavil] ^ⓘ) is a commune in the Hauts-de-Seine department and Île-de-France region of north-central France. It lies some 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from the centre of Paris in the south-western suburbs of the French capital.

Chaville is bordered by the following communes (clockwise from the north):

• Sèvres
• Meudon
• Vélizy-Villacoublay
• Viroflay
• Ville-d'Avray.

Roughly 44% of the territory of the commune, situated between the forest of Meudon to the south-east and the forest of Fausses-Reposes to the north-west, is wooded.

Chaville was founded in the 9th century by Inchadus, Bishop of Paris. The earliest recorded form of the name is Inchadi villa.
