Fincastle Chapel, also known as Glenfincastle Chapel, is a former church building in Glen Fincastle, 2.6 miles (4.2 km) south of Blair Atholl, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is named for the glen in which it stands.[1]

Standing at the apex of a hairpin curve of the B8019 Killiecrankie-to-Tummel Bridge road, where the road crosses Fincastle Burn, the chapel is believed to have been built in 1843, according to a datestone at the site. Inside the chapel there is a World War I memorial plaque honouring five local men who died in the conflict.[2]

Another plaque is to the memory of Charlotte Rachel Barbour (née Fowler),[3] who was a "friend of the children of Glen Fincastle 1930".[1] Charlotte's son, George Freeland Barbour (1882–1946), was for many years a worshipper and preacher at the chapel.[1] A tablet was placed, to give thanks, by the family of Helen Victoria Barbour (1891–1982): "For 63 years her home in this glen was a place of laughter, joy and inspiration for countless people from far and near."[1]

The chapel is shown as a free church on the first-edition Ordnance Survey maps, and as a school on the second edition.[1]

An octagonal wooden structure, which is not shown on the early maps, stands to the southeast of the chapel.[1]
