Halesowen Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1215 by the de Aldwyn family in the parish of Halesowen, Worcestershire. The abbey operated until its dissolution in 1538 and was one of the significant religious houses of the West Midlands, with lands and influence extending across the region. The surviving remains include foundations of the claustral buildings and the ground plan of the church, which can still be traced within the landscape. The site's water management infrastructure, including fishponds and watercourses associated with monastic agriculture and industrial operations, represents an important element of the abbey's medieval settlement pattern and demonstrates the Cistercian order's characteristic organisation of the countryside.
