Capel y Rug is a nonconformist chapel located in Meirionnydd, Wales, dating to the post-medieval period. The chapel represents the religious life of rural Welsh communities during the era of Protestant dissent and the growth of independent congregations beyond the established church. Built in modest vernacular style typical of Welsh chapels of its period, it reflects both the architectural preferences and the social significance of nonconformist worship in the region. The structure and its designation as a scheduled monument recognise its importance as evidence of religious practice and community identity in post-medieval Wales.
