Gönlung Jampa Ling; Tibetan: དགོན་ལུང་བྱམས་པ་གླིང་།, Wylie: dgon lung byams pa gling; Chinese: 佑宁寺, pinyin:youning si ) is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery of Gelug sect in the Gonlung County of Qinghai province, China. The monastery was founded in 1604 by Gyeltse Donyo Chokyi Gyatso. Gönlung Jampa Ling housed the first Geluk seminary in Northeastern Tibet and was the seat if a number of important, high-ranking lamas including the Changkya and Thuken incarnation lineages.

Gonlung is one of four famous Tibetan monasteries (Chuzang, Serkhog, Jakhyung and Gonlung) in north-east Qinghai, earlier considered as a border area between Tibet and China.

In 1724 the monastery was destroyed by the Manchus during the suppression of Lhazang Khan, but rebuilt in 1732.
