The Abbey of Casanova is a former Cistercian monastery located in Carmagnola, in the region of the Piedmont, Italy. The Roman Catholic church building functions in 2019 as a parish temple.
A monastery at the site was begun in the mid-12th century after a donation by the Marquis of Saluzzo to the Cistercians. The abbey expanded its territory and wealth over the next few centuries. In 1567, Emanuele Filiberto, Duke of Savoy, began restricting the exemptions and property that had enriched the abbey. There began to be a controversy over who could name the abbot of the monastery, a post occupied by varied well-connected individuals including the cardinal Marco Sittico di Altemps, Bishop of Costanza, during 1569 to 1581, and the Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy during 1618 to 1642. The Prince Eugene of Savoy, became abbot from 1688 to 1730.
