Chez Hans is a restaurant located on Moor Lane in Cashel in County Tipperary, Ireland. It is a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star 1983. The Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant the "Red M", indicating 'good food at a reasonable price', in the period 1981–1982, 1985-1986 and 1996.

In the time the restaurant was awarded the Michelin star, the head chef was Hans Peter Matthiae. In 1998 he handed the ladle over to his son Jason Matthiae. The restaurant is housed in the former Synod Hall of the (Protestant) Diocese of Cashel and Waterford and was used as such until 1950. The diocese sold the building that year to a businessman who sold it to Hans Matthiae in 1968. After an extensive renovation the building started a new life as a restaurant.
