Chippewa Falls is a city on the Chippewa River in western Wisconsin and the county seat of Chippewa County, taking its name from the falls on the river, which is named after the Ojibwe people.

White settlement began after the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters opened the region's vast white pine forests to logging, when Jean Brunett led a crew upriver to build the first sawmill at the falls.

Chippewa Falls was chosen as the county seat in 1854 and incorporated as a city in 1869 with about 2,500 people.

By the 1880s the city's great sawmill — employing about 400 people — was said to be the largest sawmill under one roof in the world; it operated until 1911, when the surrounding timber was exhausted.

The 2020 census counted 14,731 people in Chippewa Falls living in 6,482 households, and the city is a principal city of the Eau Claire–Chippewa Falls metropolitan area.

Chippewa Falls is home to the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company, the city's oldest industry, founded in 1867 as the Spring Brewery using pure water from the Big Eddy Springs.

Chippewa Falls is the birthplace of Seymour Cray, known as the 'father of supercomputing,' who founded Cray Research in his hometown in 1972; the Cray-1, the first commercially successful supercomputer, was developed and produced in the city.

Irvine Park covers 318 acres and was founded in 1906 when William Irvine and the Chippewa Lumber & Boom Company donated the land on the condition that the park remain free for everyone forever; Irvine also left a $100,000 endowment for it in his will.
