The River Chalke is a small river in Wiltshire. It is the most significant tributary of the River Ebble.
The river rises at Mead End near Bowerchalke and flows a mile northwards through the Chalke Valley to join the Ebble at Mount Sorrel, just upstream of Broad Chalke. It provides a steady, year-round flow of water; above the junction the Ebble is a winterbourne.
A typical chalk stream, the Chalke is noted for its brown trout and fish farms.
