Missenden Abbey (also referred to as Great Missenden Abbey) was an Augustinian monastery founded in 1133 in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. It was ruined in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the ruins later incorporated into a Georgian mansion.

The abbey has been owned by Buckinghamshire New University since the mid 1990s. It is now used as a conference centre.[1]
