St. Palladius' Chapel is a small medieval chapel located in Kincardineshire, Scotland, traditionally associated with Saint Palladius, an early Christian missionary figure in Scotland. The chapel represents evidence of early Christian settlement and religious practice in the region, with its origins likely dating to the medieval period, though precise dating remains subject to scholarly interpretation. The surviving structure, modest in scale, reflects the simple architectural character typical of small rural chapels of its era. The site holds significance within the wider context of early Christian sites in northeast Scotland and the veneration of Christian saints in the medieval Scottish landscape.
