Chippenham is a village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England, part of East Cambridgeshire district around 4 miles north-east of Newmarket and 10 miles north-east of Cambridge. The parish of Chippenham covers 4,300 acres at the eastern end of Cambridgeshire. It is bordered by Suffolk to both the north and the south. To the east it is separated from Kennett, and to the west there are borders with Fordham and Snailwell, and a short border with Isleham. The present parish incorporates both the smaller medieval parish and the hamlet of Badlingham. Listed as Chipeham in the Domesday Book of 1086, the name "Chippenham" probably means "river meadow of a man called Cippa".
