The Holy Transfiguration Monastery (Serbian: Манастир Светог Преображења Господњег / Manastir Svetog Preobraženja Gospodnjeg) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery. It is located in Campbellville, Milton, Ontario and it serves as the headquarters of the Eparchy of Canada. It is the first and only Serbian Orthodox monastery in Canada.
The monastery is located in the Niagara Escarpment area protected by UNESCO. The monastery is located within easy reach of Ontario's largest cities with a significant number of Serbian colonies: a half-hour drive from Toronto to the east, Hamilton to the south, and Kitchener to the west. The monastery church is located on a hill called Tabor Hill and is the central part of the Burlington–Milton Parish.
Next to the monastery church, there is also the first Serbian cemetery in Canada, a bishop's palace, a library, a children's play area, as well as a picnic area with a summer pavilion, kitchens, a fishing pond, and sports fields for soccer, volleyball, and basketball.
