Franziskanerkloster Berchtesgaden, Franciscan monastery in Berchtesgaden, Germany.

The Franziskanerkloster Berchtesgaden is a monastery complex whose church, Unserer lieben Frau am Anger, was built between 1480 and 1519 and later rebuilt under Philipp Plank from 1695. The convent buildings were reconstructed between 1716 and 1723/24, including a library room. The church and monastery are listed as a Baudenkmal in the Bavarian monument register.

The complex originated around 1400 initially for Augustinian women and was fundamentally expanded between 1480 and 1519 when the Church of Our Dear Lady at the Meadow was built. This reconstruction phase shaped it into the building visitors see today.

The church is dedicated to Our Lady at the Meadow (Unserer lieben Frau am Anger), a name tied to the veneration of the Ährenmadonna, the Madonna of the Ears of Grain, which began in the mid-15th century and whose pilgrimage long financed the friars. Fürstpropst Wolfgang II. Griesstätter zu Haslach, who dissolved the women's convent in 1564, asked to be buried here rather than in the Stiftskirche. Since 1987 Polish Franciscans from the Upper Silesian province based in Katowice have served church and monastery.

The church and monastery are entered from the Anger; the complex sits in the centre of Berchtesgaden, a short walk from the market square. Parts of the buildings are not open to visitors because they house the Caritas "Haus der Begegnung" since 2015. The Franciscans from Katowice have served church and monastery since 1987.

The monastery church holds the grave of Prince-Provost Wolfgang II Griesstätter zu Haslach, who was buried there at his own request rather than in the Stiftskirche like most Berchtesgaden prince-provosts. He had the buildings renewed after 1564 as housing for retired officials and canons.
