Delamere is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Delamere and Oakmere, within the unitary authority area of Cheshire West and Chester, in the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is approximately 7 miles (11 km) west of Northwich. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 census was 1,025. The name of the village comes from the French de la mer "of the sea". The civil parish was abolished on 1 April 2015 to form "Delamere and Oakmere"; parts also went to Kelsall, Utkinton and Cotebrook and Willington.

The civil parish was well known for the Delamere Forest, an expanse of oak, pine and sycamore trees which forms the largest woodland in Cheshire. It includes the hills of Old Pale and Eddisbury Hill, part of the Mid Cheshire Ridge.

There are several cafés, including the Station House Café at Delamere railway station and Delamere Café in Delamere Forest. Other services include a primary school (Delamere C of E Academy), shop (Delamere Stores), community centre and public house, the Vale Royal Abbey Arms on the A556.
