St. Andrew's-by-the-Sea is a historic Episcopal chapel on Church Road, southeast of the junction with South Road and Route 1A in Rye, New Hampshire. It was designed by architects Winslow & Wetherell and was built in 1876. It is a single-story structure built of stone and timber, with brick quoining at the corners. It has a slate roof and a small belfry topped by a pyramidal roof. The design is an eclectic mix of Gothic Revival and Stick Style. The chapel's stained glass windows were designed by John LaFarge, the Connick Studios, and Tiffany & Co.
In 1864 Rye's first Episcopal service were first held services at the nearby Farragut Hotel. This chapel was built in 1876 to serve Rye's large summer resort community.
The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
