Chiswell Green is a village, on the southern outskirts of St Albans, in the parish of St Stephen and district of the City of St Albans in Hertfordshire. It has a population of approximately 2,800.

It is located on the North Orbital Road, close to Junction 21A of the M25, and is separated from much of (the rest of) the St Albans urban area by the A414.

To the south east of Chiswell Green is Park Street, and to the south, Bricket Wood.

There is one pub in Chiswell Green, The Three Hammers. There is one school in West Avenue: Killigrew Primary and Nursery School. This was formed by the amalgamation of two separate schools.

Originally positioned on Old Watford Road around The Three Turnips public house, Chiswell Green was much extended between the wars and shortly afterwards. It now is a medium-sized suburb.
