'''Nea Chalkidona''' or '''Nea Halkidona'''([[Greek language|Greek]], Modern: Νέα Χαλκηδόνα, Ancient/[[Katharevousa]]: -on, meaning New [[Chalcedon]]), older forms '''Nea Chalkidon''', '''Nea Halkidon''' is a suburb in the northern part of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. It is one of the smallest municipalities but it is slightly larger than [[Dafni (Athens)|Dafni]]. It is located S of [[Attiki Odos]] which opened in [[2001]] and wasn't fully connected until February [[2004]], WSW of [[Kifissia]] and Kifissias Avenue, W of Marathonos Avenue, N of [[Athens]], NE of [[Peristeri]], E of Kifissou Avenue and SE of [[Acharnae]]. The main streets are Kifissou Avenue which is now a superhighway which is also [[Greece Interstate 1|GR-1]]/[[E75]] for northbound and [[Greece Interstate 89|GR-89]] for the southbound lanes and is also a municipal boundary to its west. Another main street is linked to Nea Filadelfeia. [[Attiki Odos]] is 2 km south with an interchange to the north and is chaped with a roundabout. The railway line of [[Organismos Sidirodromon Ellados|OSE]] is east of the city. A junction with Attiki Odos is to the northwest.

The area was made up of farmlands and forests dominated the area. The forests are in the squares. In the early to mid-[[20th century]], urban development replaced much of the farmlands. Today, much of the municipality is urbanized while the businesses are along the main roads. Many of the trees are aligned with the streets and in squares. The forests outside the municipal boundaries are near the Kifissos valley.

Nea Chalkidona has schools, lyceums, gymnasia, banks, a train station, a sports centre, cinemas, post offices and squares (''plateies'').
