Chilworth is a village in Hampshire, UK, very close to the city of Southampton. Good travel connections and restricted development has led to the village becoming particularly affluent. Chilworth Old Village, at the west end, consists of former farm workers' thatched cottages interlaced with modern houses and bungalows built in the 50s. The Anglican Church of St Denys lies on the edge of the Old Village.

Chilworth is home to the University of Southampton Science Park (formerly the Chilworth Science Park) which houses the main satellite uplink earth station of British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB). This facility uplinks signals (both Sky and some third party) to the Astra satellites at 28.2°E and Eutelsat's Hotbird at 28.5°E.
