The Abbey of Saint Victor, Paris, also known as Royal Abbey and School of Saint Victor, was an abbey near Paris, France. Its origins are connected to the decision of William of Champeaux, the Archdeacon of Paris, to retire to a small hermitage near Paris in 1108. He took on the life, vocation and observances of the Canons Regular, and his new community followed the Augustinian Rule.

William was famed for his teaching, and was followed to his hermitage by many of his disciples, including Peter Abelard. William was made Bishop of Châlons-sur-Marne in 1113, and was succeeded in his hermitage at St Victor's by Gilduin, who promoted the canonical order and its new abbey. Famous abbots included Hugh of St Victor and Richard of St Victor.
