The Chapel of the Resurrection (French: Chapelle de la Résurrection; Dutch: Verrijzeniskapel), or the Chapel for Europe (French: Chapelle pour l'Europe; Dutch: Europakapel), is a Catholic church with an ecumenical vocation located in the heart of the Brussels' European Quarter (City of Brussels municipality), next to the former Convent Van Maerlant.

A precursor of this church, which dated back to the 15th century, was situated in the city centre, but demolished in the course of urban development in 1907. Instead, a replica, externally true to the original, was built at its present location. In 2001, after substantial renovation, the church received its present name and took on its present ecumenical character.
