Cappelle medicee are two structures that are found inside the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, and were built as extensions to Brunelleschi's 15th-century church to celebrate the Medici family, which were patrons of the church and Grand Dukes of Tuscany.

The Chapels are divided into New Sacristy ("Sagrestia Nuova") and were designed by Michelangelo and created as a mausoleum or mortuary chapel for members of the Medici family. The larger section is Chapel of the Princes ("Cappella dei Principi ") and there is also The crypt and Treasury.

The architecture was complete by 1524, its white walls and pietra serena interior based on Brunelleschi's designs. Entered through the back of the San Lorenzo Church, the chapels are divided into three distinct parts: the crypt, the Cappella dei Principi (Chapel of the Princes) and the New Sacristy.
