The term motherhouse is used by religious institutes to designate the principal house or community for that group.[1] It can be for the entire institute or a region.

It would normally be where the residence and offices of the religious superior of the institute would be located.[1] If the institute is divided geographically, it is referred to as the provincial motherhouse and would be where the regional superior would be in residence.
