Heynings Priory is a Gilbertine priory site located in Lincolnshire, England, representing one of the establishments of this distinctly English monastic order founded by Saint Gilbert of Sempringham in the twelfth century. The priory was founded in the mid-twelfth century and functioned as a community for both monks and nuns under Gilbertine rule until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Little now remains visible above ground at the site, though archaeological investigation and documentary sources attest to its former importance as a religious house. The priory's location and surviving earthworks continue to be significant for understanding the distribution and material culture of Gilbertine communities in medieval England.
