Holy Ascension Romanian Orthodox Monastery is a monastic community for men in the Romanian Episcopate of the Orthodox Church in America. It is located in Detroit, Michigan, at the St. Andrew's Center for Orthodox Christian Studies.

The community was founded in 2001 under the omophorion of His Eminence Archbishop Nathaniel, Archbishop of Detroit and the Romanian Episcopate, when the former abbot of Brancoveanu Monastery (Romania), Archimandrite Irineu (Duvlea), along with seven other monks, arrived in Detroit on the namesday of St Policarp of Symrna. A year after Archimandrite Irineu's consecration to the episcopacy, he relinquished his abbacy, and the community elected Archimandrite Mihail (Filimon) as the new abbot. The community consists of men living the monastic tradition of a Christ-centered prayer life for the monastic members.
