Chemistry Research Laboratory is a state of the art research facility home to Organic Chemistry at the University of Oxford. Her Majesty The Queen opened the building on 20 February 2004, which replaced the older Dyson Perrins Laboratory just across the street from it. It has five floors covering ~17,000 sq.m of laboratory and office space and cost £60 million to construct. The money was raised with grants from the JIF, Wolfson Foundation, EP Abraham Trust, Thomas Swan, the family of Landon T Clay, the Salters Company and a £20 million partnership with IP2IPO.

The Laboratory is located on South Parks Road, to the south of the main Science Area.
