The Capitol Diner is a historic diner at 431 Union Street in Lynn, Massachusetts.

The J. G. Brill Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania built the diner unit in 1928. The restaurant was originally named the "Miss Lynn Diner" and after it was sold in 1938, it was renamed the "Capitol Diner" after the Capitol Theatre formerly across the street. It is believed to be the last operating Brill Diner in the United States.

The diner is owned by Robert Fennell, and has been in his family since 1938.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
