Gas phase abundances of interstellar chlorine were estimated for over 40 Galactic sight lines using Copernicus data and equivalent widths from IUE spectra. The background stars have distances of up to 3 kpc and total hydrogen column densities from 6 times 10 to the 19th to 7 times 10 to the 21st power per sqcm. Results show Cl to be significantly depleted: the derived abundance values range over more than an order of magnitude and correlate very well with the mean space density of hydrogen. A mean gas phase abundance of 5.0 on the usual log scale, compared to the probable solar value of 5.5 is found, in spite of the supposed volatility of Cl.
