Bollschweil Priory was a Cluniac monastery of nuns at Bollschweil (formerly Bolesweiler) in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

It was founded by Saint Ulrich of Zell in or after 1087 to complement the monastery he had founded for monks at Grüningen,[https://books.google.com/books?id=ABkgU0GOBbcC&q=bollschweil&pg=PA336 Google Books website, Encyclopedia of the Saints, by Rosemary Guiley, page 336] later moved to Zell. The priory was moved to nearby Sölden in 1115,[https://books.google.com/books?id=gMk_ZujVEjUC&dq=Bollschweil+Priory+nuns+at+Bollschweil&pg=PA219 Google Books website, Sisters in Arms: Catholic Nuns Through Two Millennia, by Jo Ann McNamara, page 219] probably due to the unsuitability of the site, after which time the monastic community became known as Sölden Priory.
