Kummelnäs kapell is a small wooden chapel in Kummelnäs, part of Nacka municipality outside Stockholm. Built in 1925, it now serves Boo parish, chiefly hosting children's activities, christenings and private hire.



The chapel was built by members of the Östra Kummelnäs association for Christian activity, to designs by the engineer Sjunnesson, himself one of the association's members. It fell into disrepair over the following decades until Boo parish took it over in 1981, restoring it for use as a venue for the church's children's work.

The building is simple and modest in scale, consisting of a nave aligned northeast to southwest, with a narrower polygonal chancel at the northeastern end. At the southwestern end stands a porch that was originally an open veranda. The exterior walls are clad in white-painted horizontal panelling, and the roof is a black sheet-metal saddle roof, with a small ridge turret above the entrance housing the church bell.

Inside, several original furnishings survive, including a free-standing altar table and pews finished in brown stain, both dating from the chapel's construction. An electric chandelier is thought to date from around 1900, predating the building itself. Notably, the chapel lacks a pulpit and font, features usually taken for granted in a Swedish church interior, a reminder of its origins as a modest community meeting place rather than a fully consecrated parish church.
