St. Albert the Great Priory was a Roman Catholic monastery at 41A and 41B Stubbs Road, near Wong Nai Chung Gap in Victoria City, on the mid-levels of Mount Nicholson on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, inaugurated on 24 November 1935, which came to be known as the Rosaryhill. It was a house of study of the Dominican Order's Province of Our Lady of the Rosary in the Far East.

The old monastery was used as a civilian internment camp during the Japanese occupation of the territory (1941–1945) in the Second World War.

A Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima was dedicated on the southeastern side of the site.

A pipe-organ was built by William Charlton Blackett for the priory. It was moved in the 1950s to the Church of Santo Domingo in Quezon City in the Philippines.

New centres of study became available in Saigon, South Vietnam and Manila, the Philippines and along with the fall of the régime across the border the monastery was closed in the 1950s. In its place are the campus of Rosaryhill School and Villa Monte Rosa. The Fatima Shrine remains part of the campus; and the St. Albert the Great Chapel forms part of Rosaryhill's campus built in the 1960s.
