Bebenhausen Abbey was a Cistercian monastery located in the village of Bebenhausen (now a district of Tübingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was built by Rudolph I, Count Palatine of Tübingen, probably in 1183.
After the Reformation the abbey buildings were used at various times as a school, a hunting palace for the kings of Württemberg and the legislative assembly of the State of Württemberg-Hohenzollern.
