St. Mary's Chapel of Ease, also known as "The Black Church," is a former chapel in Dublin. It was once a Church of Ireland church and was located in St. Mary's Place in Broadstone, Dublin. It is built from local Calp limestone, which takes on a dark hue when wet, hence the building's nickname. A Chapel of Ease is a church building, other than a parish church, located within the parish to assist those who cannot conveniently reach the main church. The parish's main church, which has also since been deconsecrated, was St. Mary's on Mary Street.
