Chotětov is a market town in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants.

Chotětov consists of two municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):

• Chotětov (1,105)
• Hřivno (242)

The name is derived from the personal name Chotěta, meaning "Chotěta's (property)".

Chotětov is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) southwest of Mladá Boleslav and 32 km (20 mi) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape of the Jizera Table. The stream Košátecký potok briefly crosses the municipal territory in the west.

The first written mention of Chotětov is from 1057, when Duke Spytihněv II donated the village to the newly established Litoměřice Chapter. After the town of Bělá pod Bezdězem was founded in 1337, it became property of the town. From 1587 until the establishment of independent municipal administration in 1850, Chotětov was part of the Brandýs estate. Construction of the railway was finished in 1865, which started the development of the village. In 1908, Chotětov was promoted to a market town.
