The '''River Chalke''' is a small river within the English county of [Wiltshire](/source/Wiltshire). It is the most significant [tributary](/source/tributary) of the [River Ebble](/source/River_Ebble).

The river rises at Mead End near [Bowerchalke](/source/Bowerchalke) and flows 1.2 miles north through the Chalke Valley to join the Ebble at Mount Sorrel, just upstream of [Broad Chalke](/source/Broad_Chalke). It provides a steady, year-round flow of water; above the junction the Ebble is a [winterbourne](/source/Winterbourne_(stream)).

A typical [chalk stream](/source/chalk_stream), the Chalke is noted for its [brown trout](/source/brown_trout) and [fish farms](/source/Fish_farming).
