Chilcote is a small village and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, lying close to the border with Derbyshire.

Historically rooted in farming, the settlement is made up of a handful of traditional cottages and farmhouses and retains a distinctly rural, community-focused character.
