Capel-le-Ferne is a village on the White Cliffs of Dover, near Folkestone in Kent, England. Its name derives from a medieval French term meaning "chapel in the ferns". In 2011 the village had a population of 1,884. It is perched on top of the White Cliffs of Dover.
Its foremost attraction is the Battle of Britain Memorial, opened by the Queen Mother on 9 July 1993 and dedicated to those who fought in the battle. The Memorial is built upon part of a coastal battery (No. 2 and No. 3 guns) used during the Second World War (the other part of the battery site is privately owned and is under restoration).
The Channel Tunnel runs underneath the northernmost part of the village.
The village is twinned with the commune of Oye-Plage, which is about seven miles (12 km) east of Calais, France.
