Strother Memorial Chapel is a historic chapel at 1201 Van Drive in Seminole, Oklahoma. It is located in the Maple Grove Cemetery.

It was built in 1928 in honor of O. D. Strother, a founding father of the local oil industry.[1] Over the following 70 years it fell into disrepair, and then was restored through the efforts of the Maple Grove Cemetery Association and the Seminole Historical Society.[2] The chapel was added to the National Register in 2003.
