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. Within the hundred are the eastern suburbs of the city of Newport, as well as the towns of Caldicot and Chepstow.
It contains the following ancient parishes:
