Slapton Chantry College is a medieval foundation located in the parish of Slapton in Devon. The college was established in the fifteenth century as an endowed institution for the celebration of masses and prayers for the souls of its benefactors, following the common practice of chantry foundations in late medieval England. The site preserves remains of its medieval buildings, reflecting the modest scale typical of provincial chantry establishments. The college ceased to function following the Dissolution of the Chantries under Edward VI in the mid-sixteenth century.
