Skogaby kapell is a small chapel in Skogaby, in Laholms kommun, part of Laholms församling in the Göteborg diocese. Sources differ slightly on its consecration date, giving either 1917 or 1919, but agree that a bell tower was added beside the chapel in the early 1960s.

The chapel was originally privately owned, and was only handed over to the Laholm ecclesiastical union (Laholms kyrkliga samfällighet) in 1938. It is built of stone. A thorough restoration took place in 1937–1938, not long after this change of ownership.

The building has grown in stages: the porch to the west was added in 1935, while the sacristy to the east followed in 1959. Unusually, the chapel had no burial ground when first built, and a surrounding churchyard was only laid out around 1955.

The mechanical organ dates from 1957, built by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund, and the organ loft was constructed at the same time to house it. Among the chapel's fittings is a chancel carpet made by Judith Johansson.

According to editorial sources, the chapel marked its centenary with a reconsecration service on the first Sunday of Advent in 2017, following its various renovations, though this detail does not appear in the other consulted references.
