Lady Leng Memorial Chapel (also known as Vicarsford Cemetery Chapel) is a church building in Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. Built between 1895 and 1897, to a design by Thomas Martin Cappon, it is now a Category A listed building. Historic Environment Scotland describes it as "a fine and rare example of a small ecclesiastical building type". [1]

The building is also one of the few non-denominational chapels in Scotland. It was built by politician John Leng as a memorial to his wife, Lady Emily Leng, [2] with the Saint-Chapelle, Paris, being the inspiration. [1]

The adjacent Vicarsford Cemetery is Category B listed. [3]
