Malinslee Chapel was a Norman chapel located in Telford Town Park, England (formerly within the grounds of Malinslee Hall, Malinslee). The chapel is now in ruins but the east wall still contains two well splayed Norman lights with a round arched niche between.[1]

Malinslee Chapel was originally erected within the grounds of Malinslee Hall around the year 1150.[2] The chapel had became a ruin by the 18th century, probably before 1786, when Rev Williams produced a painting of the ruins. When Malinslee Hall was demolished in 1971 to make way for the new Telford Town Centre, the chapel was dismantled by the Telford Development Corporation and later re-assembled in the nearby Telford Town Park by the Withy Pool.[1]
