The River Chelmer is a river that flows entirely through the county of Essex, England.

The source of the river is near Debden Green, a village near Thaxted. The source of the River Cam is also nearby. The River Chelmer flows past Thaxted, south through the district of Uttlesford around the northeast of Great Dunmow. It continues flowing south-southeast into the borough of Chelmsford and on into the town of Chelmsford where the River Can flows into it. It then flows east through the borough and into the district of Maldon until it meets the River Blackwater near Langford. It discharges into the North Sea via the River Blackwater.
