Austin Friars Priory is a medieval religious house located in Lincolnshire, England. The priory was founded in the 13th century as a house of the Augustinian friars, an order of mendicant religious practitioners who played an important role in urban and rural ecclesiastical life during the later medieval period. Little of the priory's structure survives today, though archaeological evidence and historical records testify to its existence and significance within the local religious landscape. The site remains an important record of the Augustinian presence in the English provinces during the medieval centuries prior to the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
