Shaftesbury Abbey was een abdij in de Engelse stad Shaftesbury, in 888 gesticht door Alfred de Grote. De eerste abdis was zijn dochter Aethelgifu. Het was de enige plek in Engeland waar vrouwelijke kloosterlingen weer terechtkonden, nadat de Vikingen in de negende eeuw nagenoeg alle kloosters en het kloosterleven hadden vernietigd. Ze volgden de regels van Benedictus. De abdij was jarenlang een belangrijk bedevaartsoord.
