St Anne's Chapel was a church in Coventry , England that went down. Today only the place name St Anne's Grove at the charterhouse reminds of the chapel, as well as the name of the Catholic school St Anne's Catholic Primary School , about 2 km away.

The Church of St. Anne came into being at a time when the veneration of these saints was widespread. It belonged to the Trinity Guild and was later leased to the charterhouse. In 1393 it was described as a chapel completely surrounded by water. In 1546 the chapel was confiscated (when Trinity College was founded). In 1733 there was still a dye works ( dyehouse ) on the site , but it had already disappeared in 1820.
