The Abbey of St. Vaast was a Benedictine monastery situated in Arras. The abbey was founded in 667. Saint Vedast, or Vaast (c. 453 - 540) was the first bishop of Arras and later also bishop of Cambrai, and was buried in the old cathedral at Arras.

In 667 Saint Auburt, seventh bishop of Arras, began to build an abbey for Benedictine monks on the site of a little chapel which Saint Vedast had erected in honour of Saint Peter.
