Chatham was a supermarket chain, now-defunct, headquartered in southeastern Michigan.

Founded by Royal Supermarkets in the mid-1950s, Chatham were often compared to Kroger (which subsequently purchased former Chatham locations after the chain went out of business) in size and selection. Typical of many grocery stores of its time, Chatham was found to be unable to keep up with big-box grocery competitors, including Michigan-based Meijer.

The company folded in the mid-1980's.
