The name Chantal has been used for six tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Hurricane Chantal (1983), formed near Bermuda but missed it, dying in the open sea
  • Hurricane Chantal (1989), formed north of the Yucatán, made landfall as a Category 1 storm in Texas, causing 13 deaths, including 10 on an oil rig construction ship off Louisiana; $100 million damage reported
  • Tropical Storm Chantal (1995), never threatened land, dissipated several hundred miles west of Ireland
  • Tropical Storm Chantal (2001), became a depression but degenerated, then passed over Trinidad (causing two deaths) and strengthened into a tropical storm before striking Belize, causing $5 million damage there
  • Tropical Storm Chantal (2007), short-lived storm which caused moderate flooding damage in southeastern Newfoundland
  • Tropical Storm Chantal (2013), formed west of Cape Verde Islands and weaked before landfall in Hispaniola.
