Oliver Andrew Chessum (born 6 September 2000) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a lock for Premiership Rugby club Leicester Tigers and the England national team.

Early life
Born to Paddy Chessum and Michelle Bailey (of Bailey Trailers), Ollie Chessum is the eldest of 4 children. Chessum’s younger brother Lewis also plays for Leicester Tigers and England’s U20s. During the COVID-19 Pandemic Chessum worked as a welder in the family business.

Chessum began playing rugby at Carre's Grammar School in Sleaford at the age of 13, before playing club rugby for Sleaford, Newark and Kesteven. He was a member of Leicester Tigers "developing player programme" at 15 but gave up for a year as he found it unenjoyable. A year later he joined Kesteven RFC on the recommendation of his cousin and was selected as captain for England Counties Under-18s. He took part in a 6-week trial back at Leicester, but was injured in the second week and not offered a contract, instead he joined Nottingham.
