The St Cecilia Chapel (Maltese: Il-Kappella ta' Santa Ċeċilja or ta' Santa Ċilja) is a former Roman Catholic chapel in the limits of Xewkija, Gozo, Malta, dedicated to Saint Cecilia. It was built around 1540, but it was deconsecrated in 1644, being converted into an ancillary building for the nearby Santa Cecilia Tower.

The only surviving medieval chapel on Gozo, it was severely damaged in an arson attack in 2007 and partially collapsed in 2008. The chapel was then passed to the NGO Wirt Għawdex, which restored it between 2008 and 2011. Since its inauguration in 2012, the restored chapel is open to the public once every month.
