Egres Abbey (Hungarian: Egresi apátság; Romanian: Abația Igriș; French: Abbaye de Hégerieux) was a Cistercian monastery in the Kingdom of Hungary, located in Egres (present-day Igriș, part of the commune of Sânpetru Mare, Timiș County, Romania). The Egres Abbey was founded by Béla III of Hungary in 1179 as a filial abbey of Pontigny.[3] Here is attested the oldest library in the territory of present-day Romania.
