Wykeham Chapel is a moated monastic grange and retreat house located in Lincolnshire, England, that dates to the medieval period. The site comprises the remains of a monastic establishment with associated earthwork features including a substantial moat that would have served both defensive and practical purposes for the religious community. As a grange, the complex would have functioned as an agricultural and administrative outlying estate of a larger monastery, whilst its designation as a retreat house suggests it may have provided accommodation for contemplative or charitable purposes. The monument is recorded in the National Heritage List for England under entry number 1019096.
