Свято-Миколаївський Мукачівський монастир - головна православна святиня міста Мукачево.

Стародавня обитель, за переказами, заснована в ІХ сторіччі київськими ченцями, які супроводжували доньку Ярослава Мудрого Анастасію, яку видали заміж за угорського короля (збереглися печери та цілюще джерело). Інша легенда розповідає про перемогу князя Федора Коріатовича (Корятовича) в сутичці зі змієм. На місці, яке йому вказав ангел, що з'явився над річкою, князь в 1360 році побудував дерев'яну церкву та келії.

Свято-Миколаївський монастир був резиденцією єпископів у 1491-1772 роках. Кам'яні споруди у стилі бароко зведені в XVIII-XIX століттях під керівництвом архітектора Дмитра Раца, який похований в Успенському соборі.
