The Blue Chapel, officially consecrated as the Chapel of Most Holy Mary, Mother of Sorrows[2] is a Roman Catholic memorial chapel located in Keating Hall on the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University in the Bronx, New York City. It originally opened in 1937 upon the completion of Keating Hall.

The chapel went through two different renovations: One in 1980, in which several of the chapel's original architectural features were masked or removed, and another in 2007, in which it was restored to its original state. Its prominent stained glass window faces outward from the façade of Keating Hall overlooking Edwards Parade.
