Chinaman Wells is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the west coast of Yorke Peninsula immediately adjoining Spencer Gulf about 119 kilometres (74 miles) north-west of the state capital of Adelaide. ^{[3] [2] [8]}

Its boundaries were created in May 1999 for the “long established name” which was originally used for a shack site now within the locality. The locality also includes the Holywood Shack Area. ^[2]

As of 2016, the majority land use within the locality is conservation zoned in respect to close proximity to the coastline with Spencer Gulf. A secondary use is a strip of land overlooking the coastline which is zoned for residential use. ^[8]

Chinaman Wells is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Narungga and the local government area of the Yorke Peninsula Council. ^{[6] [5] [2]}
