Haverfordwest Priory is a medieval Augustinian priory founded in the early twelfth century in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The house was established as a daughter foundation of the priory at Nostell in Yorkshire and served as an important religious centre for the surrounding region throughout the medieval period. Substantial remains of the priory buildings survive, including elements of the claustral ranges and church, which reflect the typical architectural organisation of a canons regular establishment. The priory remained in operation until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which its site was gradually dismantled and its lands dispersed.
