Saint Nicholas Monastery (Armenian: Սուրբ Նիկողայոս Վանք Հայոց) is a medieval Armenian monastery in the old city of Jaffa, Israel, along the Mediterranean Sea. Located along the Jaffa's harbor, the former monastery consists of a large multi-story complex that includes an Armenian church and living quarters. As of 2008, the complex was undergoing heavy renovation. Although no longer an active monastery, the premises is under the jurisdiction of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem who rent out parts of the complex for residential and commercial purposes.
