'''Tananger Chapel''' ({{langx|no|Tananger kapell}}; historically called ''Tananger Church'') is a historic [[parish church]] of the [[Church of Norway]] in [[Sola Municipality]] in [[Rogaland]] county, [[Norway]]. It is located in the village of [[Tananger]]. It used to be the church for the Tananger [[parish]] which is part of the [[Tungenes prosti]] ([[deanery]]) in the [[Diocese of Stavanger]]. The white, wooden church was built in a [[long church]] design in 1879 using designs by the [[architect]] [[Henrik Nissen]], who adapted plans made by [[Hans Linstow]]. The church seats about 250 people.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tananger kapell |url=https://kirkesok.no/kirke/717 |access-date=2020-10-17 |publisher=Kirkesøk: Kirkebyggdatabasen}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Oversikt over Nåværende Kirker |url=http://www.kirkekonsulenten.no/kirker.htm |access-date=2020-10-17 |publisher=KirkeKonsulenten.no |language=no}}</ref>
The church was in use from 1879 until 2002 when the new [[Tananger Church]] was completed about {{convert|100|m}} east of the old church. Now, the old church (now called "chapel") is used only for very special events and it can be rented for weddings.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2003-06-12 |title=Nei til dåp og begravelser i Tananger kapell |url=http://solabladet.no/nyheter/nei-til-dap-og-begravelser-i-tananger-kapell/19.2395 |access-date=2016-05-22 |work=[[Solabladet]] |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Tananger kirkested |url=https://kulturminnesok.no/minne/?queryString=https://data.kulturminne.no/askeladden/lokalitet/85072 |accessdate=2020-10-18 |publisher=[[Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage]] |language=no}}</ref>
