Chesterfield Rural District was a rural district in Derbyshire, England, from 1894 to 1974. It was created under the Local Government Act 1894. It was named after, but did not include, the town of Chesterfield.

The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 and combined with Clay Cross Urban District and Dronfield Urban District to form the new North East Derbyshire district, except Brimington which was incorporated into the borough of Chesterfield.
