The St Guilhem of Combret Hermitage is a small rural romanesque chapel located on the southern flank of the Canigou massif, in the French department of Pyrenees-Orientales, and the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It lies midway between the villages of Prats-de-Mollo , seat of the parish to which the chapel belongs, and Le Tech, capital of the municipality.

According to legend, the chapel was built by a hermit named Guillem, who settled there in the early Middle Ages after defeating evil spirits that had haunted him. The Romanesque construction dates from the 11th century, and was based on a somewhat older building. The chapel is a listed building, as are various objects associated with it. Two medieval manuscripts addressed to the priests officiating at the church also survive.
