The Chapelle des Ursulines (English: Chapel of the Ursulines) is a Roman Catholic chapel and heritage museum located at 18 rue Donnacona in the historic district of Old Quebec, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It is part of the larger complex of the Monastère des Ursulines de Québec, which was founded in 1639 and is recognized as the oldest institution of learning for women in North America.
