The Chapel of Saint Paul (Arabic: كنيسة مار بولس‎‎, Kanīsat Mar Bawlus) is a church in Damascus, Syria, located along Tarafa bin al-Abd Street near the former Bab Kisan gate.

The chapel, consecrated in 1939, includes some stones from the Bab Kisan gate, which is believed to be the site of St Paul's escape from Damascus by being lowered out of a window in a basket.
