Bardan Monastery or Bardan Gompa is a 17th century Buddhist Monastery, approximately 12 kilometres south of Padum, in Zanskar, Ladakh, northern India.

It belongs to the Drugpa-Kargyu monastic Order and was one of the first Monasteries of this sect to be established in Zanskar. The Monastery also ran several smaller hermitages in the area.

The Monastery consists of a large Dukhang or assembly hall which has some grand Statues of Buddhist figures and several small Stupas in clay, bronze, wood and copper.
