The Cordeliers Convent in 1793

The Cordeliers Convent (French: Couvent des Cordeliers) was a convent in Paris, France.

It gave its name to the Club of the Cordeliers, which held its first meetings there during the French Revolution.

Cordeliers was the name given in France to the Observant Franciscans.

The building later housed the Dupuytren Museum of anatomy in connection with the school of medicine. This was moved in 2016.
