The Capuchin Monastery Ochsenfurt was a monastery of the Capuchins in Ochsenfurt.

From 1644, Fathers Hieronymus and Kasimir von Haslang pursued the founding of a monastery. In 1646, the city formally requested the founding of a monastery from the Capuchin General Father Innocentius in Munich. In 1664, Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Schönborn permitted the start of construction of the monastery. On October 16, 1667, the Capuchin church was consecrated in honor of St. Burkard and St. Anthony. 18 ordained priests and brothers served as preachers in the pastoral care of Ochsenfurt and its surroundings.
