Lauryshava Monastery (Belarusian: Лаўрышаўскі манастыр) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery located in the Navahrudak rajon of the Hrodna voblast of Belarus. It is one of the oldest monasteries in the country.
According to Hypatian Chronicle, the monastery was founded around 1260 by the Lithuanian duke Voyshalk "on the river Nioman between Lithuania and Navahrudak". After adopting Orthodox Christianity, Voyshalk took the name Lawrence (Belarusian: Лаўрыш, Laurysh). The area was later named after the monastery's founder.
