This page is an overview of all the convents in Venice. For a typical convent, see Convent.

Convents, or "conventi" in Italian, often accompanied the churches located on the islands of the lagoon. There are 59 convents on located in Venice, excluding the islands of the lagoon. Only eight of these convents still actively house monastic orders. Today, many of these convents have been secularized and reused as less individuals are joining monastic orders. Among the reused convents include both the Convent of the Frari and the Convent of Saint Giovanni e Paolo (both pictured below), which once housed the largest monastic orders in Venice, the Franciscans and Dominicans.
