Chanasma is a small town and a municipality in Chanasma Taluka of Patan district in the state of Gujarat, India. Chanasma is a seat of Gujarat Assembly. The MP seat of Chanasma falls in the Patan Lok Sabha. Chanasma village is connected by Kandla-Mehsana highway. And since the broad gauge of the railway is being renovated, it is going to connect with Rajasthan via Patan from Ahmedabad. Patel, Brahmin, Vania, Darji, Panchal, Parmar, Rabari, Thakor, Nayi, all communities live in Chansma village. The old village of Chanasma was between Ugmano Darwaza and Athamano Darwaza. But now due to the increase in population and development of the village, the village is spreading to the outside. Chansma Village Shree Laljidas Laxmidas Patel Trust runs Rotla Ghar for feeding the poor where clean and nutritious meals are provided to the poor for free.

A Jain people's trust runs a PanjraPole where sick animals are kept and cared for. Chansma village 25 years ago was very famous for iron goods like lock and key and iron cupboard. But now, due to the decrease in the iron industry, the people of Chanasma village have to go to cities like Surat, Ahmedabad, Ankleshwar, Vapi, Mumbai for employment.
