The Marcùs Chapel (Catalan: Capella d'en Marcús, Spanish: Capilla de Marcús) is a Catholic religious building, with the status of chapel, located in Barcelona (Spain), on the corner of Carrer dels Carders and Placeta d'en Marcús de Barcelona, listed as a Cultural asset of local interest.[1]

The place of worship is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but popular tradition has attributed the name of its financier, the powerful banker Bernat Marcús [2] who also built a hospital and a cemetery nearby.
