The Iglesia Ni Cristo Locale of Cubao (Filipino: Lokal ng Cubao) is a chapel of the Philippine-based Christian sect, the Iglesia ni Cristo. Located along Eulogio Rodriguez avenue in Cubao, Quezon City, it was completed on 1954, and it is the forerunner design of the chapels in which Iglesia ni Cristo is being known today. It was designed by known architect, Carlos A. Santos-Viola.

The chapel has an amalgamation of English perpendicular Neo-Gothic and Art Deco, which created distinct Identity for the Iglesia ni Cristo chapels. The congregation was then made from galvanized iron for roofing and wood for the entire structure, before It was replaced by new and elegant chapel under the decision by then Executive Minister Brother Felix Y. Manalo. The locale is one of the most active locale congregations in then division of Metro Manila (now ecclesiastical districts) and it gave birth to offshoot locales like: Murphy Congregation, Project 4 Congregation, Project 2-3 Congregation and V. Luna Congregation which are all located in Quezon City.
