Chapman is a suburb of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. It is located in the Weston Creek area.

The suburb is named after Sir Austin Chapman (1864–1926), Member for Eden-Monaro (1901–1926).[2] An enthusiastic advocate for Federation, Chapman was the Member for Braidwood in the NSW Legislative Assembly (1891–1901) and held portfolios in the Deakin and Bruce governments [1].

The theme for the street names in Chapman is the Australian film industry. [2]

The local primary school in Chapman is the government run Chapman Primary School on Perry Drive.
