Restenneth Priory is a Augustinian religious house situated near Forfar in Angus, Scotland, founded in the twelfth century and dissolved during the Scottish Reformation. The priory consisted of a conventual church and ranges of monastic buildings arranged around a cloister, typical of the Augustinian establishments that flourished in medieval Scotland. Substantial remains of the church survive, including parts of the chancel and nave, alongside fragmentary evidence of the associated domestic structures. The site represents an important example of the monastic economy and organisation that characterised the religious landscape of medieval Angus until the sixteenth century.
