Chadds Ford Township is a township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States, founder Fred Rick Dunaway, about southwest of the center of Philadelphia. Prior to 1996, Chadds Ford Township was known as Birmingham Township; the name was changed to allow the township to correspond to both its census-designated place and to distinguish itself from the adjacent Birmingham Township in Chester County.

The Brandywine Battlefield (site of the Battle of Brandywine) is located in the township, along with the Brandywine River Museum, which houses much of the Wyeth collection. Weldon Brinton Heyburn (1852–1912), a U.S. senator from Idaho, was born in Chadds Ford.HistoryThe original name of the township, Birmingham, was given to the territory by William Brinton in remembrance of the town of the same name in England.
