Gampo Abbey is a Buddhist abbey located in Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia. Founded by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1984 as a centre of North American Buddhism. The Abbey is associated with the Vajradhatu Buddhist Church of Canada and Shambhala International. Khenchen Trungpa Rinpoche now serves as abbot.
On August 26, 2001, Nova Scotia's first stupa was consecrated at Gampo Abbey. It is a Stupa of Enlightenment dedicated to world peace, and contains relics of the abbey's founder Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
