Caldicot is a Hundred of Monmouthshire.

It is situated in the south-eastern part of the county, bounded on the north by the hundreds of Usk and Raglan; on the east by Gloucestershire; on the south by the Bristol Channel, and on the west by the hundred of Wentloog.

The hundred has given its name to the Caldicot level, an area of low-lying estuarine alluvial wetland and intertidal mudflats adjoining the north bank of the Severn Estuary.
