Olesa de Montserrat is a town in the comarca of Baix Llobregat, in Catalonia, Spain.
Olesa de Montserrat is well-known around the nearby places because of its olive oil and textile production, but especially because of its world-famous Passion play (La Passió d'Olesa), first documented in 1538. It achieved a world record in 1996, with 726 persons acting onstage at the same time.
