Bawit (Arabic: باويط Bāwīṭ; Coptic: ⲡⲁⲩⲏⲧ Bawet[1]) is an archaeological site located 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Asyut, near the village of Dashlout, in Egypt.

The structures on this site are relatively well preserved, and demonstrate different aspects of a monastic complex of Middle Egypt.

[2] The sixth and seventh centuries were a period of prosperity for this monastery, which then hosted a community of women, under the patronage of Rachel.

In early 1901, a survey of the site and surrounding areas was made by Jean Clédat, who was based at the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo.

In 1976, then 1984 and 1985, the Supreme Council of Antiquities resumed excavations and added to the collections of the Coptic Museum.
