King's College Chapel is the chapel at King's College in the University of Cambridge. It is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture. The chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses. The chapel's large stained glass windows were not completed until 1531, and its early Renaissance rood screen was erected in 1532–36. The chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King's College Choir. The chapel is a significant tourist site and a commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge.

King's College Chapel is widely regarded as the city's landmark and is perhaps the most famous building of Gothic architecture in Cambridge. It was built in three stages over a period of around 100 years and has the largest fan vault in the world (in the typical perpendicular style), many stained glass windows and the painting “The Adoration of the Wise Men” by Peter Paul Rubens. The chapel continues to be actively used for church services and some other college events. The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols takes place there every year on Christmas Eve.
