Chainmail Leggings are leg armor in Minecraft that grant 4 armor points (two full armor icons) and have a durability of 225 hits in Java Edition (226 in Bedrock) — the same durability as Iron Leggings, though Iron Leggings give one more armor point. Unlike most equipment, Chainmail Leggings cannot be crafted on a crafting table in Survival mode; players obtain Chainmail Leggings by trading emeralds with armorer villagers, as a rare drop from zombies, husks, or skeletons that spawn wearing them, or through the /give command in Creative.

Chainmail Leggings sit between Gold Leggings (3 armor points) and Iron Leggings (5 armor points) on the protection scale — a solid mid-game choice when iron is scarce. Chainmail Leggings accept enchantments such as Protection IV, Unbreaking III, and Mending. On an anvil, Chainmail Leggings repair with iron ingots — each ingot restores 25% of maximum durability — while combining two damaged pairs on a crafting table or grindstone adds 5% bonus durability but loses enchantments. Smelting a pair in a furnace yields just one iron nugget.
