The Monasterio de San Pedro Apóstol is home to a community of Benedictine nuns in San Pedro de las Dueñas, a village in the municipality of Sahagún, in the province of León (Castille and León, Spain), in the Cea valley. Its origins date back to 973; the monastery was initially dependent on the abbey of Sahagún. The Romanesque and Mudéjar church, begun in 1109 in stone and completed in brick, is the most remarkable part of the complex, whose current buildings date from the 18th century.
The nuns belong to the Congregación Monástica de Santa Hildegarda. They run a guest house and a shop. The monastery is listed in the inventory associated with the Way of Saint James.
