Sula Chapel (Norwegian: Sula kapell) is a parish church in Frøya municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located on the island of Sula. It is one of the churches for the Frøya parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1925 by the architect Martin Pettersen. The church seats about 200 people.[1][2]

The chapel was built in 1925 on the site of the old church that was on Sula from the 15th century until 1755 when it was moved to the island of Frøya (that church is now the Sletta church). There was no church here from 1755 until 1925. The chapel is located just below the Sula Lighthouse.
