The Certosa di Pavia or Charterhouse of Pavia (built c. 1396-1465) is a famous monastery complex in Lombardy, Italy, situated near a small town of the same name in the Province of Pavia, 8 km north of the city of Pavia. It was once located on the border of a large hunting park belonging to the Visconti family of Milan, of which today only scattered parts remain.

Certosa is the Italian name for a house of the cloistered monastic order of Carthusians founded by St. Bruno in 1044 at Grande Chartreuse. The Certosa is renowned for the exuberance of its architecture, in both the Gothic and Renaissance styles, and for its collection of artworks which are particularly representative of the region.
