A [[chamber pot]] is a portable toilet, meant for nocturnal use in the bedroom. It was common in many cultures before the advent of indoor plumbing and flushing toilets.

"Chamber" is an older term for bedroom. The chamber pot is also known as a Jordan, a jerry, a guzunder, a po (possibly from French: pot de chambre), a potty pot, a potty, a thunder pot or a thunder mug. It was also known as a chamber utensil or bedroom ware.

Chamber pots were used in ancient Greece at least since the 6th century BC and were known under different names: [[ἀμίς]] (amis), [[οὐράνη]] (ouranē) and [[οὐρητρίς]] (ourētris, from [[οὖρον]] - ouron, "urine"), [[σκωραμίς]] / (skōramis), [[χερνίβιον]] (chernibion).

The introduction of indoor flush toilets started to displace chamber pots in the 19th century, but they remained common until the mid-20th century. The alternative to using the chamber pot was a long cold walk to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
