Kaymaklı Monastery (hye: Ամենափրկիչ Վանք Amenaprgič Vank, meaning Monastery of the All-Saviour; Turkish: Kaymaklı Manastırı, Amenapırgiç Manastırı) is a ruined Armenian Apostolic monastery near Trabzon, Turkey, which served as the seat of the Trebizond diocese tied to the Patriarchate of Constantinople until the Armenian genocide in 1915. The monastery originally included a church, a bell tower at the northwest corner, and a small chapel near the southeast corner.
