Borisoglebsky Monastery, Dmitrov, Orthodox monastery in Dmitrov, Russia

Borisoglebsky Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Dmitrov whose stone Cathedral of Saints Boris and Gleb was built in the first third of the 16th century, in the same style as and probably at the same time as the Dormition Cathedral of the Dmitrov Kremlin. The 17th-century stone walls enclose the gate Church of Saint Nicholas with its refectory, built in 1685–1687, and the brethren's cells. The architectural ensemble took shape in the 18th century.

The earliest written record of the monastery appears in Prince Yuri Vasilyevich's document from 1472, establishing its presence in medieval Russia. This foundation date shows the site was already an important religious center during the period of Moscow's early growth.

The monastery's name honours Saints Boris and Gleb, and its main church is the 16th-century Borisoglebsky Cathedral. Monastic life resumed in 1993; by 2003 eight residents lived here, and Patriarch Alexy II visited on 31 August 2003. The rebuilt cathedral was reconsecrated on 6 August 2004 by Metropolitan Juvenaly of Krutitsy and Kolomna.

The monastery stands in Dmitrov's historic centre, its walls and gate church facing the former Dmitlag settlement streets. Visitors enter through the Holy Gates beneath the 1685–1687 Nicholas Church; the 16th-century cathedral and 17th-century cells lie within. The 2004 neo-Russian chapel stands on the grounds. Parts of the complex remain in church use, so dress and conduct should suit an active monastery.

Archaeological digs around the cathedral uncovered remains of a dugout dwelling with pottery pieces from the late 13th century. These findings reveal that people lived at this location centuries before the monastery was formally established.
