The Little Chapel is a small chapel in Saint Andrew, Guernsey, situated in Les Vauxbelets. It was created in July, 1914, by Brother Deodat. He planned to create a miniature version of the grotto and basilica at Lourdes, the Rosary Basilica. It has been said that it "is the smallest functioning chapel in Europe, if not the world", and it is "believed to be the world’s smallest consecrated church."

In 2010, five stained glass windows were smashed, causing £3,000 worth of damage, and led to condemnation of the vandals. The windows have previously been smashed, notably three times in 2003. The chapel has been described as "probably the biggest tourist attraction in Guernsey", and "intricate". Source
