Chamant is a small village in northern France. It is designated municipally as a commune within the département of Oise.

It is situated about 50 km to the north of Paris, and just 2 km to the northeast of Senlis.

The town figured in the virulently anti-Semitic novel The Jew of Chamant, published in 1898 by George H. D. Gossip under the pseudonym "Ivan Trepoff".
