The Couvent des Cordeliers de Dinan is a former monastery in Dinan in the Côtes-d'Armor department in western France .

The monastery was founded in 1241. Franciscan brothers (Cordeliers) settled here around 1247 . In the second half of the 14th and 15th centuries, the monastery complex was generously expanded. After the French Revolution, the monastery was closed in 1791 and sold as a national good. In 1807 Abbot Berthier acquired the facility and founded a private Catholic educational institution, which today includes a college and high school.

In 1930 the portal of the structure was classified as a monument historique .
