La iglesia de Fraumünster ("iglesia de mujeres" en alemán) es una antigua abadía benedictina situada en el corazón de Zúrich (Suiza), fundada a mediados del siglo IX d.C. por Luis el Alemán y sus hijas, Hildegard y Bertha. En auge en la Edad Media hasta la Reforma suiza, Fraumünster gozaba de "inmediatez imperial", lo que otorgaba a la abadía un estatus político y constitucional privilegiado en el marco del derecho feudal imperial. Las abadesas de Fraumünster podían actuar y gobernar con muchísimo poder e independencia de todos, excepto del propio emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico. Tras la Reforma suiza liderada por Ulrich Zwingli, la abadía de Fraumünster fue disuelta en 1524 y su última abadesa, Katharina von Zimmern, puso Fraumünster bajo el control de la ciudad de Zúrich. Desde entonces, Fraumünster es una iglesia urbana reformada suiza. La iglesia es uno de los monumentos más reconocibles de la ciudad y, junto con Grossmunster, Predigerkirche y St. Peterskirche, Fraumünster es una de las iglesias más antiguas y grandes de Zúrich.
