Chepping Wycombe Borough Police was the police force responsible for policing the Borough of Wycombe, situated in the county of Buckinghamshire, England until 1947.[1]

It was formed as a result of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.[2] The force was amalgamated into Buckinghamshire Constabulary following the Police Act 1946.

Today, the area is policed by the successor to Buckinghamshire Constabulary, Thames Valley Police.
