Lechlade (/ˈlɛtʃleɪd/), or Lechlade-on-Thames, is a town in Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, England. It is named after the River Leach. As of 2011, it has a population of around 2,850.

Evidence of human occupation begins during the neolithic, Iron Age and Roman periods.[2][3] The town later became a trading centre. Lechlade is home to the Anglican Church of St Lawrence which has been there since the 15th century, as well as a Baptist Church on Sherborne Street, there since 1817.[4][5] In modern times, many cultural and social activities occur around the town's Memorial Hall, which was burned down by a fire and rebuilt in 2016.[6]

After World War II, the development of the nearby air force stations, RAF Fairford and RAF Brize Norton, helped expand the town.[7]
