Chalk Farm tube station is a London Underground station near Camden Town in London. The station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line, between Camden Town and Belsize Park stations, and in Travelcard Zone 2. The station is located at the junction of Chalk Farm Road, Haverstock Hill and Adelaide Road.

The station was opened on 22 June 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. The narrow wedge-shaped site occupied by the station building gives it the longest frontage of any of the stations designed by Architect Leslie Green for the three tube lines owned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London Ltd and opened in 1906 and 1907. It also has the shallowest liftshafts of any Underground station (21ft).

Nearby is The Roundhouse arts venue, the Enterprise Pub, Camden College of English and Select Model Agency.

The station was refurbished in recent years by Tube Lines and this work was completed in 2005 under the leadership of Kevin Fearn, the project manager for this work.
