Skorbyashchensky Monastery, Moscow, Eastern Orthodox monastery in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia.

Skorbyashchensky Monastery is a former women's Orthodox monastery in Novoslobodsky Park, Moscow. Its surviving red-brick Cathedral of the All-Merciful Saviour, built 1889–1894 to Ivan Vladimirov's design, has three tall arched windows framed by pilasters and a tiered upper section with recessed panels; its bell tower was truncated and now faces Novoslobodskaya Street.

The monastery was established in 1891 during Russia's period of religious and architectural renewal in the late 1800s. It endured through the Soviet era and has since returned to active use following the revival of religious life in Russia.

The monastery's name comes from the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow", to which Princess Praskovya Golitsyna dedicated a house church in 1856. The convent was founded by her daughter Alexandra. Today services are held in the former needlework building, returned to the church in 1995, and the graveyard is remembered in materials collected by parishioners of the Saviour Cathedral.

The monastery stood on the grounds of today's Novoslobodsky Park; the surviving Cathedral of the All-Merciful Saviour faces Novoslobodskaya Street at the corner of Vadkovsky Lane, behind a fence and barrier gate. The grounds are a public park, so access is on foot from the street. The cathedral was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church only in 2019, so check current opening arrangements before planning a visit.

The monastery cemetery, opened in 1894, held about 2,500 burials before closing in 1920, among them lawyer Fyodor Plevako, industrialist Nikolai Vtorov, historian Dmitry Ilovaysky and philosopher Nikolai Fyodorov. It was levelled in 1930; Plevako's family graves were moved to Vagankovo without their headstones, and a children's park was laid out on the site.
