Butler Chapel is a chapel located in Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. It is the first and only chapel on Campbell University's campus.

Completed in 2009, it is named after its initial benefactors, alumni Anna and Robert Butler.[1] The chapel functions to educate divinity students, as a place of worship, and as university offices.[2][3]
