Sainte-Marie de Boulaur Abbey, former priory of the order of Fontevraud, is a monastery of Cistercian nuns located in Boulaur in the Gers department, in the Occitania region (France).
Founded in the 12th century, it was originally a Fontevrist priory, suppressed during the French Revolution, then reestablished in the 19th century. The nuns were expelled by the laws of expulsion of congregations in 1903.
Monastic life was definitively reestablished there in 1949, with a Cistercian community. In 2020, the community had 27 nuns.
The convent has been listed as a historic monument since December 21, 1972.
