Louth Park Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1139 in the parish of Louth, Lincolnshire. The abbey was established as a daughter house of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire and became one of the more significant Cistercian foundations in the East Midlands, acquiring substantial estates and engaging in wool production characteristic of the order. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in 1536 as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. Today the abbey survives as earthwork remains and fragmentary stone foundations visible in the landscape, including traces of the claustral buildings and precinct boundaries that once defined this religious community.
