The Harmony Chapel and Cemetery (also known as "Harmony Meeting House" or "Harmony Cemetery") is a historic cemetery in Harmony, Rhode Island, a village in Glocester.
The chapel adjacent to the cemetery sits on Route 44 west of Edgewood Drive. Built as a schoolhouse in 1816, after 1825 it became a meeting house (free chapel) for villagers. Residents would occasionally hire ministers to speak and hold various Christian religious ceremonies.
The cemetery behind the chapel was used as a private cemetery by the Steere, Smith and other local families until opened for public use in 1878.
