Surrey Chapel is a Free Evangelical church in Norwich, Norfolk, England. It was founded in 1854 by the Evangelical Robert Govett, in a public hall in Surrey Street (which has been called 'no earthly gem' architecturally). It is perhaps best known as being home to the missionary Elsie Tilney, who, during World War Two, travelled to Vittel to assist in the rescue of Jews and other foreign nationals imprisoned by Nazi Germany. The church was also attended by British missionary Margaret E. Barber. In the twenty-first century, the chapel was known for its work in the local community, including debt advice, and participation in the local football league.
