Chatra subdivision is an administrative subdivision of the Chatra district in the North Chotanagpur division in the state of Jharkhand, India.

Chatra was the "headquarters" of Ramgarh district in the 18th-19th century. The renowned reformer, Raja Rammohan Roy, was sheristadar in Ramgarh district, in 1804–05, and used to function from both Ramgarh and Chatra. Subsequently, Ramgarh district became part of North-western Frontier Agency and Hazaribagh district came up. Chatra became a subdivision of Hazaribagh district in 1914. It became a full-fledged district in 1991.[1][2]
