'''Ganden Choeling Nunnery''' or '''Geden Chöling''' ({{bo|w=dga' ldan chos gling dgon pa}}) is a [[Tibetan Buddhism|Tibetan Buddhist]] [[vihara]] for [[bhikkhuni|Buddhist nuns]] in [[Dharamshala]], [[India]]. It is near the monastery in which the [[14th Dalai Lama]] resides.

The Gaden Choeling Nunnery was started by nuns who fled from Nechung Ri vihara ({{bo|w=ne phyung ri}}) in [[Tibet]], which was destroyed during the [[Cultural Revolution]].<ref name=TNP/> It is the largest and oldest Tibetan nunnery in India. Since most of the nunneries in Tibet are no longer operational, it may be the largest in the world.<ref name=Tsomo1988/>

Gaden Chöling is built on a steep hillside in Dharamsala.<ref name=Gold1988/> The nunnery is only a ten-minute walk from the main temple in [[McLeod Ganj]]. There are 160 nuns in residence.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gedenchoelingnunnery.org/ |website=Geden Choeling Buddhist Educational Society |title=Welcome to Geden Choeling Nunnery |accessdate=27 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217042249/http://gedenchoelingnunnery.org/ |archive-date=17 December 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
