Pine Orchard Union Chapel is a historic nondenominational chapel at 25 Chapel Drive in Branford, Connecticut. It is a modest wood frame building, with a flared gable roof whose eaves have exposed rafter tails. A small belfry stands atop the roof, and there is bargeboard and latticework decoration in the gable ends. Built in 1897, it is one of a modest number of seasonal resort chapels built along the Connecticut coastline, and a particularly fine example of one with Queen Anne styling.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
