The Abbazia di Santa Maria del Patire (in English, St Mary of Patir Abbey) is a church and monastery in Rossano, a frazione of Corigliano-Rossano, Calabria, southern Italy.

It was founded in 1095 by Bartholomew of Grottaferrata. It was dedicated to Saint Mary Hodegetria, although it is known as Saint Mary of Patir, which later became Patire, according to the popular pronunciation.[1]
