Chesterfield is a town in Essex County, New York, United States. The population was 2,445 at the 2010 census. The name possibly is from a location in New England.

Chesterfield is in the northeasternmost part of the county and is 13 miles (21 km) west of Burlington, Vermont (by ferry), 16 mi (26 km) south of Plattsburgh, 77 mi (124 km) south of Montreal, Quebec, and 144 mi (232 km) north of Albany.

The town is entirely inside the Adirondack Park.

The town was formed in 1802 from part of the town of Willsboro. The early settlers were from the New England area.[citation needed]

Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain Fire Observation Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 105.4 square miles (272.9 km2), of which 79.0 sq mi (204.7 km2) is land and 26.3 sq mi (68.2 km2), or 24.99%, is water.

The northern town line is the border of Clinton County, consisting of the Ausable River, and the eastern town line is marked by Lake Champlain and Vermont.

Interstate 87, the Northway, is a major divided highway running north–south through Chesterfield. US Route 9 and New York State Route 22 are north–south highways adjacent to the Interstate.
