기독교에서 수도회의 수도사들을 위해 6세기경에 작성된 계율을 기록한 규칙서이다. 성 베네딕도 규칙서의 정신은 베네딕도 연합의 모토에 집약된다. 이 규칙은 15세기가 넘게 사용되어 왔으며, 서방 수도회의 근본으로 여겨지기도 한다.

"서방 수도 생활의 아버지"라고 불린다. 그리스도교의 성인 가운데 한 사람이며, 로마 가톨릭교회와 성공회에서는 유럽과 학생들의 수호 성인으로 공경받고 있다. 베네딕도 규칙서에서 나타난 그의 규율은 균형과 중용, 합리성을 두루 갖고 있었으며, 중세에 세워진 대부분의 교회 공동체는 이같은 베네딕토의 정신의 적용을 받아 세워졌다.
