Chanceford is an 18th-century building in Maryland located at 209, West Federal Street, Snow Hill, Worcester County, Maryland. It is an early example of a neo-classical temple-fronted dwelling on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

Built in 1792-93, Chanceford is a stuccoed brick house with a transverse hall. A single-story hyphen to the rear connects the main house to the two-story kitchen wing. The interior retains much of its original woodwork.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] It is operated as Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
