Cagnotte Abbey, located in the Landes in France, is a Benedictine and then Cistercian abbey founded in the 9th century. It was founded by Salvius and his servant Mauricius, who were assigned by the bishop of Dax to guard the tomb of Maria Corfedia.

In the 11th century, the monastery moved temporarily seven kilometers to the east and in 1097 built a new abbey church. Returning to Cagnotte following a raid by the Normans, the community there adopted Cistercian rule in 1141.

All that remains of the abbey is a part of the abbey dwelling which has become a barn and the small parish church reduced to the sanctuary, the choir bay, the side and cross chapels of the transept of the former Notre Dame de Corheta abbey church. This church houses the tombs of the Viscounts of Orthe and Adelaide of Anjou.

The abbey experienced a slow decline from the Wars of Religion until the Revolution. In 1776, Louis XV authorized the demolition of the monastery.
