Whitechapel is a tiny hamlet in the parish of Goosnargh in Lancashire, England. It lies on the border of the Forest of Bowland near the foot of Beacon Fell, and close to the neighbouring village of Inglewhite. Its name is marked as White Chapel on some maps.

WICE (Whitechapel and Inglewhite Community Enterprises) has been formed as a community organisation to raise funds and build an all-weather sports facility for the use of the Whitechapel School and the community.
