The Capela de Santo António da Neve is a Roman Catholic chapel in the Portuguese municipality of Coentral (Castanheira de Pera district). It was built in 1786 by order of Julião Pereira de Castros, the Neveiro-Mor of the royal house, about four kilometers northeast of Coentral at an altitude of 1150 meters on the Cabeço do Pereiro ( Serra da Lousã ). It was consecrated to Saint Anthony of Lisbon .

The chapel was in private hands for a long time. In 1954, the Câmara Municipal de Castanheira de Pera acquired the building and it came into the possession of the Junta de Freguesia de Coentral.

With effect from January 3, 1986, the chapel was declared Imóvel de Interest Público . There are also three ice cellars .
