O Convento de Cristo (século XII – século XVIII) é a denominação atribuída a um conjunto de edificações históricas situado na freguesia de São João Baptista, cidade de Tomar. O início da sua construção remonta a 1160 e está intimamente ligado aos primórdios do Reino de Portugal e ao papel então desempenhado pela Ordem dos Templários, onde tinha a sua sede portuguesa, tendo subsequentemente sido reconfigurado e expandido pela herdeira Ordem de Cristo.
