The Bistrets Monastery "St. Ivan Kasinets", also known as "St. Ivan Rilski Pusti", "St. John the Theologian", as well as the Bistrets Monastery, is a medieval Bulgarian monastery near Vratsa.

It is located near the Bistrets district, about 12 km northwest of the city center. It is located on a small meadow at the upper end of a steep valley, descending from the Vratsa Mountains to the Vratsa plain.

The name "Kasinets" comes from the name of the nearby area and Mount Kasinata. It has the status of a cultural monument.
