Hamningberg Chapel (Norwegian: Hamningberg kapell) is a chapel of the Church of Norway in Båtsfjord Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the now-abandoned (uninhabited) village of Hamningberg. It was an annex chapel for the Båtsfjord parish which is part of the Varanger prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland. The small, red, wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 1949 by the architect Sverre Poulsen. The church seats about 140 people.[1]
