Sävenäs kapell is a small church in Skelleftehamn, part of Skellefteå kommun in Västerbotten, Sweden. It belongs to Skellefteå Sankt Örjans parish within the Diocese of Luleå, and offers visitors a quiet example of a mid-twentieth-century Swedish chapel.

The chapel was consecrated on 31 October 1970, when it was dedicated as Sävenäs kyrka by the rural dean (kontraktsprost) Harald Lundberg. This places it among the more recent additions to church buildings in the region, reflecting the growth of the surrounding community at Skelleftehamn during the twentieth century.

Little detailed information survives in the sources consulted about the chapel's architecture, furnishings or notable objects. Visitors interested in the building's design and any artworks it may contain are encouraged to look for information on site, as no further descriptive detail could be confirmed here.

The chapel continues to serve as a place of worship within Skellefteå Sankt Örjans parish, part of the wider Diocese of Luleå in the Church of Sweden.
