Chainpur one of the largest villages of Saharsa district in the Indian state of Bihar in North-East India, and is in the Kosi Division. Chainpur has a number of tolas and occasionally called Pubari, Pachhwari, Uttarwari and Dakshinwari tola.

The origin of the name Chainpur is not known but it is said that when Shri Bhagirath Thakur (one of the earliest inhabitant of this village) came to this place, it was quiet peaceful (that is, "chain" in Hindi language), hence the village got its name of Chainpur.

Chainpur is part of Kahra Block. Chainpur is located in among Bariahi, Bangaon, Parari and Mahishi.

Chainpur and its surrounding areas are a flat alluvial plain forming part of the Kosi river basin. This makes the land very fertile.

Flooding is a major reason for the poor connectivity of the area as bridges tend to get washed away.
