Cookshill Nunnery is a Benedictine priory situated in Worcestershire, England. The house was founded in the twelfth century and functioned as a religious community for women until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Little survives of the original monastic structures, though the site retains archaeological significance as evidence of medieval religious life in the region. The remains lie within what is now agricultural land, preserving an important record of the priory's former presence and the broader landscape of Worcestershire monasticism.
