Ximenes Chapel (Chapel of the Miracles) is a historic chapel at 113 Ruiz Street in San Antonio, Texas.

The chapel has long been an important gathering place for San Antonio's Mexican-American and Hispanic Catholic population.[2]

The chapel was rebuilt in the 1920s to replace the original chapel from 1813, which had been destroyed in a fire. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
