The Matronenheiligtum Bonn was an ancient temple in Bonn (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It was a pagan predecessor building of today`s Bonner Münster church. Excavations beneath the church lead to the discovery of several votive stones dedicated to the Gallo-Roman Matronae Aufaniae.

The Matronae Aufaniae are supposed to be Romanized versions of Gallo/Germanic mother deities. The stones stem from the second half of the second century AD. It is not known what the original temple looked like.

The votive stones are displayed in the LVR Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn.
