The Bath Chronicle is a weekly newspaper, published since 1760 in Bath, England. Prior to September 2007 it was published daily.

The newspaper may have originally been published as the "Bath Chronicle and Universal Register" taking over from the Bath Advertiser which was published from 1755.

It is owned by Northcliffe Media, part of the Daily Mail and General Trust newsgroup, and published as part of the Bath Newspapers Group. Its circulation reaches the population of Bath and the surrounding areas including parts of Wiltshire and Somerset.

On September 21 2007, the Bath Chronicle announced plans to switch from daily to weekly publication.

A Georgian Newspaper Project is developing a database which will contain information from the Bath Chronicle for the years 1770–1800.
