Chenoweth is an unincorporated community in Range Township, Madison County, Ohio, United States. It is located along Ohio State Route 323 between McClimansville and Range.[2]

Chenoweth was never platted.[3] The community has the name of John Chenoweth, a pioneer settler.[4] The Chenoweth Post office was established on October 12, 1887, but was discontinued on September 15, 1900. The mail service is now sent through the Mount Sterling branch.[5] As of 1915, the community contained one grocery store, one blacksmith, and a small cluster of houses.[3]
