The Chapel of Chupan, sometimes called the Shepherd's Chapel, is a small, historic Armenian church in a mountain valley west of Jolfa near the Aras River in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. It was added to Iran's National Heritage List in 2002, and designated a World Heritage Site in 2008. It is part of the Saint Stepanos Monastic Ensemble, within the Armenian Monastic Ensembles of Iran listing.[1]

The chapel was built in 1518, likely for shepherds of the region who did not have immediate access to a church. It has a cruciform shape, and is made of stone and mortar. The interior walls are covered in plain plaster.[2] It was rebuilt in 1836.[3]
