Chester-le-Street (), also known as Chester, is a market town and civil parish in County Durham, England, around 5.7 miles north of Durham. It is located on the River Wear, which runs out to sea at Sunderland to the east. The town holds markets on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The town's history is ancient, records go back to a Roman-built fort called Concangis. The Roman fort is the "Chester" of the town's name; the "Street" refers to the paved Roman road that ran north–south through the town, now the route called Front Street. The parish church of St Mary and St Cuthbert is where the body of Anglo-Saxon St Cuthbert remained for 112 years before being transferred to Durham Cathedral and site of the first Gospels translation into English, Aldred writing the Old English gloss between the lines of the Lindisfarne Gospels there.
