Bollschweil Priory was a Cluniac monastery of nuns at Bollschweil (formerly Bolesweiler) in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

It was founded by Saint Ulrich of Zell in or after 1087 to complement the monastery he had founded for monks at Grüningen,[1] later moved to Zell. The priory was moved to nearby Sölden in 1115,[2] probably due to the unsuitability of the site, after which time the monastic community became known as Sölden Priory.
