The Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de la Consolación, known as the Convento de las Dueñas, is a monastery of Dominican nuns located on Plaza del Concilio de Trento, in the historic center of Salamanca (Castile and León, Spain), a short walk from the convent of San Esteban. It was founded in 1419 by Juana Rodríguez de Monroy in a late 14th-century Mudéjar palace, of which a horseshoe arch and azulejos survive.

The church, with its Gothic single nave and Plateresque facade, and the cloister date from the 16th century. The monastery is listed as a site of cultural interest and the community belongs to the Santo Domingo Federation. Sources consulted do not describe any retreatant hospitality.
