Tikhonovsky Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Zadonsky District, Russia.

Tikhonovsky Monastery is a women's Orthodox monastery of the Lipetsk diocese, set 7 km north of Zadonsk on the site of a former men's monastery. Its walled grounds hold the restored Trinity Cathedral, the gate church of the Transfiguration, a bell tower, corner towers, the Uspensky church, and a chapel over Saint Tikhon's well with a bathing pool.

Monastic life here began in 1865, when Archimandrite Dimitri of the Zadonsky Bogoroditsky Monastery built a skete around the well dug by Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk, who called this forest spot "an earthly paradise". It became an independent monastery in May 1873 and had about 100 monks by the early 20th century. Closed in December 1920 and largely destroyed, the site housed a psychoneurological internment home for decades until the territory was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church on 29 April 1991.

This is a women's convent: about 115 nuns and sisters lived here in 2016, and the superior, Mother Zinona (Deeva), was made abbess on 8 April 2007. The Psalter is read around the clock in shifts, and three times a year a cross procession goes to Saint Tikhon's spring.

The monastery is reachable by bus from Zadonsk with several daily connections available. It is helpful to wear modest clothing as this is an active place of worship, and it is wise to check opening times in advance.

The monastery grew from a skete begun in 1865 by Archimandrite Dimitri of the Zadonsk Bogoroditsky Monastery. Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk had dug a well here himself, calling the spot "an earthly paradise"; after his death in 1783 people took its water as healing. A chapel over the well and a small bathing pool were built in 1991.
