Moorfoot Chapel is a medieval monastic grange and chapel located in Midlothian, Scotland. The site represents a typical monastic agricultural establishment of the medieval period, functioning as an outlying farm worked by the religious community to generate revenue and supplies for the parent monastery. The chapel served both practical and spiritual purposes for the resident monks and lay workers engaged in the grange's operations. Though now fragmentary, the remains demonstrate the integration of economic enterprise and religious life characteristic of Scottish monastic organisation during the medieval period.
