The Chapel of St. Cornelius the Centurion is an Episcopal chapel on Governors Island in New York City, United States. It is part of the parish of Trinity Church in Manhattan and is dedicated in honor of Cornelius the Centurion. The first building to bear this name was erected in 1847 thanks to the efforts of John McVickar, who had been serving as a chaplain at Fort Columbus on Governors Island since 1844. By the beginning of the 20th century, this building was condemned and replaced by the current building, which was designed by architect Charles C. Haight and dedicated in 1906. The building was constructed in the English Gothic and Gothic Revival architectural styles.

For various periods in its history, chaplains have been provided from different sources, including from Trinity Church, the Army's chaplain services, and the United States Navy Chaplain Corps. Since the closure of the military outpost on Governors Island in 1996, the building has been under the sole ownership of Trinity Church. In the 21st century, the building has served as a venue for performing arts and art installations. As of 2014, it did not hold religious services.
