The Iona Nunnery was an Augustinian convent located on the island of Iona in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. It was established sometime after the foundation of the nearby Benedictine monastery in 1203. The ruins of the nunnery stand in a peaceful garden adjacent to Iona's main (and only) village, Baile Mor.
