Елецкий Троицкий монастырь, Orthodox monastery in Yelets, Russia.

Eletsky Troitsky Monastery is a partially active Russian Orthodox men's monastery in Yelets, at the intersection of Kommunarov and Pirogov streets in the city's northwest. Its surviving buildings include parts of the east, north and west walls with two corner towers, the brotherhood building with the attached Church of Saint Panteleimon, and a bell tower. The monastery once had five stone churches and an 8.5-meter wall with four towers.

The monastery was first mentioned in 1592, when a wooden community of up to 25 monks stood on a high promontory at the confluence of the Yelchik and Sosna rivers. After Catherine II's 1764 decree removed it from the state register, it was abolished in 1775 and the brethren transferred to Lebedyan in January 1776. In 1836 it was restored on a new site at the western edge of Yelets, on the Oryol road, through the efforts of mayor Ivan Shaposhnikov and his wife Evdokia.

The monastery is named after the Trinity, and its main cathedral was consecrated on 5 September 1836 before a large crowd of pilgrims, citizens and guests. The complex was rebuilt from 1830 on the western edge of Yelets, on the Oryol road, after the earlier wooden monastery at the Yelchik's mouth was abolished in 1775. The Tikhvin church, a warm five-domed brick church, was completed in 1870.

The monastery is accessible through its main gate and can be visited during daylight hours on most days. As an active religious site, visitors are expected to dress modestly and move quietly through the grounds.

The monastery's first site was on a high cape where the Yelchik flows into the Sosna, from 1592 until its abolition in 1775. The present complex west of the city centre dates from 1836, when the merchant Ivan Shaposhnikov's widow Yevdokia completed his plan to fund a stone Trinity church and donate 30,000 roubles.
