Chaumes (; ; ) is a cow's milk cheese from Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh in the Périgord in south west France, made by traditional cheese-making processes. Translated literally, "chaumes" is French for stubble.

Based upon traditional Trappist-style cheeses, it is a rather popular cheese among modern French varieties, in particular with children. It is a soft pale cheese with a rich full-bodied flavour and smooth, creamy and quite rubbery texture. Its aroma comes from the soft rind, which has a bright tangerine-orange color. The rind appears after several washings of the crust, along with brushing with some ferments.
