Newnham Priory is a site of a medieval Augustinian priory located near Bedford in Bedfordshire, England. The priory was founded in the twelfth century and functioned as a religious community of Augustinian canons until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Little survives of the priory buildings above ground, the site now being marked primarily by earthworks and archaeological remains that indicate the former extent and layout of the monastic complex. The priory occupied an important position within the network of Bedfordshire religious houses and its remains continue to be of archaeological significance for understanding medieval monastic settlement in the region.
