Majira ya kuchipua (kwa Kiingereza Spring) ni mojawapo kati ya majira manne ya kanda za wastani, na halijoto yake ni ya wastani. Yanafuata majira ya baridi (kwa Kiingereza "winter") na kutangulia majira ya joto (kwa Kiingereza "summer"). Majira hayo yanatokea duniani kwa nyakati tofauti kadiri eneo husika lilivyo kaskazini au kusini kwa ikweta. Hata katika nchi ileile, kwa mfano Kenya, majira ni tofauti upande huu na upande huu wa ikweta.
