Folkestad Chapel (Norwegian: Folkestad bedehuskapell) is a chapel in Fjaler Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Våge in extreme western Fjaler. The chapel is part of the Fjaler parish in the Sunnfjord deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden bedehus was built in 1913 by master builder Gerhard Folkestad. In 1940, it was enlarged to 200 seats and it was consecrated for church use on 4 September 1940 by Bishop Andreas Fleischer. Prior to 1991, this chapel was part of the Askvoll municipality (and parish). After a municipal border change, the chapel is now part of Fjaler.
