Syon Abbey /ˈsaɪən/, also called simply Syon, was a dual monastery of men and women of the Bridgettine Order, although it only ever had abbesses during its existence. It was founded in 1415 and stood, until its demolition in the 16th century, on the left (northern) bank of the River Thames within the parish of Isleworth, in the county of Middlesex, on or near the site of the present Georgian mansion of Syon House, today in the London Borough of Hounslow. It was named after the biblical holy "City of David which is Zion" (1 Kings 8:1), built on the eponymous Mount Zion (or Sion, Syon, etc.).

It was named after the biblical holy "City of David which is Zion" (1 Kings 8:1), built on the eponymous Mount Zion (or Sion, Syon, etc.). At the time of the dissolution, the abbey was the wealthiest religious house in England. Syon Abbey maintained a substantial library, with a collection for the monks and another for the nuns. When Catherine of Siena's Dialogue of Divine Revelation was translated into English for the abbey, it was given a new title, "The Orchard of Syon," and included a separate prologue written to the nuns.

Syon Abbey (Sion kloster) på nordsidan av Themsen i Isleworth i England var ett dubbelkloster av birgittinorden, verksamt från 1415 till 1539. Det har ofta omnämnts som Syon Abbey men det var under sin samtid känt som Syon Monastery. Unionsdrottning Filippa av England, syster till Henrik V, vistades mest i Sverige och besökte gärna klostret i Vadstena, där hon blev år 1415 medsyster. Därför fick Birgittinorden att bygga klostret hos Henrik och Bridgettine nunnor skickades samma år av abbedissa Gerdeka Hartlevsdotter från Vadstena klostret till England, däribland Anna Karlsdotter, Christina Finwitsdotter, Christina Esbjörnsdotter och Anna Esbjörnsdotter. Första stenen lades 22 februari 1415 av kung Henrik V i närvaro av biskop . Det var under medeltiden Englands rikaste kloster. Det upplöstes under reformationen 1539, och dess medlemmar fick då pension från kronan. De före detta nunnorna och munkarna emigrerade till Nederländerna. Klostret återupprättades vid motreformationen under Maria I av England 1553, men upplöstes åter vid Elisabet I:s trontillträde 1558. Nunnorna lämnade England för Frankrike och Spanien, och slog sig slutligen ned i Portugal 1594. Klostret återupprättades 1925/35, men upplöstes slutligt 2011.
