The Abbey of Saint-Jean-des-Vignes (French: L’abbaye Saint-Jean-des-Vignes), was an Augustinian abbey located on Saint-Jean hill, southwest of the city of Soissons in the Aisne department of France. Founded in 1076 by Augustan canons, the original Romanesque buildings were gradually replaced from the late 12th century onward in a Gothic style.
The abbey flourished during the Middle Ages, but was ruined and abandoned during the Wars of Religion and the French Revolution, when much of the complex was dismantled. Today, only parts of the church and conventual buildings survive, most notably the façade of the former church and sections of the cloister.
