Chevington is a small village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, set in typical lowland East Anglian countryside of arable fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes. The settlement retains a mix of traditional cottages and farmsteads and sits comfortably within the rural patchwork that characterises much of the county.

Historically the village has medieval roots reflected in its older buildings and a compact parish community; agriculture still shapes the local economy, although many residents now commute to nearby market towns for work. Social life tends to centre on the church, village events and local groups, giving Chevington a close-knit, quietly historic character while keeping it connected to larger Suffolk centres.
