The Abbey of the Most Holy Trinity of La Lucerne (French: Abbaye Très-Sainte-Trinité de la Lucerne), also known as La Lucerne Abbey (later also known as La Lucerne-d'Outremer, from its connection to the English crown, whence the name of the present commune) was a Premonstratensian canonry founded in the 12th century. It is situated in the forests of the Thar river valley in the Manche department of Normandy.
