Monsheim is a village and a municipality in the district Alzey-Worms, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is located on the small river Pfrimm, approx. 10 km west of Worms. Monsheim is the seat of the Verbandsgemeinde ("collective municipality") Monsheim.

In 1969, the neighbouring village of Kriegsheim was incorporated into Monsheim. Some of the first German settlers in North America, who founded Germantown Township, Pennsylvania in 1683, were from Kriegsheim (then spelled Cresheim). The Cresheim Creek, Cresheim Road, and Cresheim Valley Drive in northwestern Philadelphia are named after the village.
