St Benet's Chapel, Netherton, Grade II* listed Catholic chapel in Netherton, England.

The chapel extends at right angles from its presbytery, featuring round-headed sash windows and a bellcote topped with a cross on the west gable.

Built in 1793 following the Catholic Relief Acts, the chapel replaced a cottage and barn previously used by Benedictine priests for religious services.

The interior maintains its original west-end gallery with stick balustrade, while the east wall displays fluted Corinthian pilasters supporting an entablature with urns.

The chapel entrance is positioned at the west end of the north side, with the building remaining partially hidden behind the presbytery that faces the road.

The marbled altar from the 1830s stands beneath decorative elements including draped curtains that reveal a descending dove and cherubs with wings.
