Northchapel is a village and civil parish in Chichester District in West Sussex, England. It stands on the A283 road just south of the Surrey border, around 9 km north of Petworth.
The village is believed to have taken its name from a church which was once a chapelry and was the north chapel of the Manor of Petworth, originally two separate words, North and Chapel.
