Varensell Abbey (German: Abtei Varensell) is a monastic community of Benedictine nuns, located near Rietberg in the district of Gütersloh in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The monastery was founded in 1902 by the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration within the Benedictine Confederation. Later, however, the community developed a way of life more in keeping with that of the Beuronese Congregation, which it joined in 1982. Varensell was given the status of abbey in 1948.^[1]

Besides the traditional duties of hospitality, the nuns are occupied in theological work and various handicrafts.^[2]
