St Fidamnan's Chapel is a medieval ecclesiastical structure located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, situated to the northwest of Knapsleask. The chapel represents a small rural place of worship dating to the medieval period, reflecting the dispersed pattern of Christian settlement and religious provision characteristic of medieval Scotland. The site contains the physical remains of a modest stone chapel building, typical of minor ecclesiastical monuments from this era. The chapel's dedication to St Fidamnan, an early Christian saint, indicates the site's origins within the established medieval Christian landscape, though the precise date of construction and subsequent history of the structure remain within the broader context of medieval religious practice in the north-east of Scotland.
