Chautauqua is a town and lake resort community in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. The town is named after Chautauqua Lake. The traditional meaning remains "bag tied in the middle".

The town is in the western part of the county on the northwestern end of Chautauqua Lake. It is northwest of Jamestown. Chautauqua is famous as the home of the Chautauqua Institution, the birthplace in 1875 of the Chautauqua Movement of educational and cultural centers.
