Great Chart is a historic village and civil parish just to the west of Ashford in Kent, England. It has roots stretching back to the Domesday era and retains a pleasantly rural character centred on an old parish church and pockets of farmland and orchards, even as the wider area has developed.

In recent decades Great Chart has felt the effect of Ashford's growth, with modern housing and commuters mixing with long‑standing village life; good road and rail links into Ashford make it popular for people working elsewhere but wanting a quieter Kentish setting. Local clubs, a village hall and occasional community events help preserve a strong social identity despite the pressures of expansion.
