The monastery Gertrudenberg is a former Benedictine monastery in Osnabrück (Lower Saxony). It was founded in the first half of the 12th century and existed until 1803. On the former monastery grounds is the 2007 privatized Lower Saxony state hospital Osnabrück. Preserved are the former abbot's house and the monastery church with baroque high altar, the Gertrudenkirche. It is used as a simultaneous church.

At some point, directly after the founding of the city of Osnabrück by Charlemagne in 780 AD, a Carolingian Michaelis chapel was built on the Gertrudenberg, which suggests that a pre-Christian Saxon sanctuary was previously located on this site. Remains of walls in today's tower of Gertrude's Church and bricked-up round-arched windows in the south wall of the church are said to come from the Michaeliskapelle.
