The Coignard was a convent of regular Augustinian canonesses founded in Paris on 7 October 1647 (the anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto in 1572) and dedicated to Saint-Augustin de la Victoire-de-Lépante. Its site is in the corner of what is now boulevard Diderot with rue de Picpus. It was dissolved and converted into a prison on the French Revolution - the prison's cemetery is the Picpus Cemetery.
