The Chupan Chapel, also called the Shepherd's Chapel, is a small Armenian church in a mountain valley west of Jolfa, near the Aras River in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. Built in 1518, likely for shepherds without immediate access to a church, it has a cruciform plan, stone and mortar walls, and plain plaster interiors. Rebuilt in 1836, it was added to Iran's National Heritage List in 2002 and designated a World Heritage Site in 2008 as part of the Armenian Monastic Ensembles of Iran.
