Monkwearmouth–Jarrow Abbey was a Benedictine double monastery in the Kingdom of Northumbria, England. Its full name is The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Monkwearmouth–Jarrow.

Its first house was St Peter's, Monkwearmouth, on the River Wear, founded in AD 674–5. It became a double house with the foundation of St Paul's, Jarrow, on the River Tyne in 684–5. Both Monkwearmouth (in modern-day Sunderland) and Jarrow are now in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. The abbey became the centre of Anglo-Saxon learning, producing the greatest Anglo-Saxon scholar, Bede.
