Strastnoy Convent, Orthodox monastery in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia.

Strastnoy Convent stood at the Tverskaya Gate of the White City, centred on a five-domed cathedral built in 1646 to house the Passion Icon. Its 1692 gate bell tower was replaced in the mid-19th century by Mikhail Bykovsky with a tent-roofed tower holding a clock and the Church of St Alexius. The grounds also held the Church of the Nativity in Putinki and a 1913 hotel by Leonid Stezhensky, the only building still standing (Maly Putinkovsky Lane, 1/2).

The convent was founded in 1654 at the Tver Gates of the White City, on the spot where the Passion Icon had been solemnly welcomed in 1641. A fire in 1778 destroyed the cathedral and several cells, but Catherine II funded its restoration, consecrated in 1779. French troops desecrated the monastery in 1812, and in 1919 the Soviet authorities closed it; all buildings were demolished in 1936–1937.

The monastery took its name from a religious icon of the Mother of God brought from Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow in 1641. This name reflected the spiritual importance the shrine held for the city's faithful.

The convent stood where Pushkin Square is now; its bell tower's site is marked by the Pushkin monument, and the only surviving building is the 1913 hotel at Maly Putinkovsky Lane 1/2. The square is a major transport hub with a metro station, so approach on foot from Tverskaya Street. The icon venerated at the convent is now kept in the Church of the Resurrection in Sokolniki.

The convent's great bell, cast at the Samgin works and weighing 11 tonnes 560 kg, was the first in Moscow to answer the Ivan the Great bell on Easter night, starting the festive ringing across the city. It carried images of the Saviour, the Passion Icon and Saint Nicholas, and was installed in 1885 with money from merchants including Mikhail Orlov.
