Chinguacousy Township (pronounced /ˈtʃɪŋkuːzi/ listen ) is a former municipality and geographic township in Peel County, Ontario. In 1973, when Peel County became the Regional Municipality of Peel, it was split in half, with the northern half becoming part of the town of Caledon, and the southern half, along with the township of Toronto Gore, joining the town of Brampton.

The name lives on in Brampton in Chinguacousy Park, Chinguacousy Road, and Chinguacousy Secondary School, among other things.
