The Monestir del Miracle is a Benedictine monastery affiliated with Montserrat Abbey, at the sanctuary of the Miracle, in the municipality of Riner, in the Solsonès (province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain). The Marian sanctuary dates back to an apparition reported in 1458; its current church, from the 17th century, preserves a large baroque altarpiece. The first stone of the monastery was laid in 1899, and the first community settled there on September 1, 1901.

An independent priory from 1917 to 1932, the monastery once again falls under Montserrat; a few monks live there. Their Casa d'Espiritualitat welcomes individuals and groups for times of silence, retreat, and prayer, with the opportunity to join the community's liturgy. The site also includes apartments for families and groups.
