Campsey Priory is a site of a medieval Augustinian priory located near Campsey Ash in Suffolk, England. Founded in the twelfth century, the priory was established for canons regular and operated throughout the medieval period until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Little remains visible today, though archaeological investigation and historical records attest to the existence of monastic buildings and structures that once occupied the site. The priory's strategic position in Suffolk reflects the broader pattern of religious house distribution across East Anglia during the High and Late Medieval periods.
