Gongchen or Gonchen (also known as Dege Gonchen or Derge Monastery) is a large Sakya Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the town of Derge. Gonchen Monastery was founded by Thang Tong Gyalpo (or Tangton Gyelpo) 1385-1464). The monastery was completely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.

The monastery was restored in the 1980s and the three inner sanctums are dedicated to Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakya Thukpa) and the future Buddha, Jampa or Maitreya.
