The Monastery of São Pedro de Rates (Portuguese: Mosteiro de Rates) is a former Benedictine abbey located in the parish of São Pedro de Rates, in the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim, in the Porto district, northern Portugal.

All that remains of the former monastery complex today is the Romanesque church Igreja de São Pedro de Rates, also known as the Românica de Rates, dedicated to its patron saint, São Pedro de Rates. Due to its art-historical significance as the "nucleus" of Portuguese Romanesque architecture and its historical significance for the emerging Kingdom of Portugal, the church was registered and protected as a National Monument in 1910.
