Mount Melleray Abbey (Irish: Mainistir Cnoc Mheilearaí) is a Trappist monastery in Ireland, founded in 1833. It is situated on the slopes of the Knockmealdown Mountains, near Cappoquin, Diocese of Waterford.

It is famous in literature due to Seán Ó Ríordáin's poem Cnoc Mellerí in Eireaball Spideoige (1952).[1] James Joyce mentions Mount Melleray in "The Dead", the final short story of his 1914 collection Dubliners. The monks are noted for their exceptional hospitality and piety.[2]
