St John's Priory is a medieval religious house located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, founded in the twelfth century as a priory of Augustinian canons. The site, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference CM236, represents an important example of monastic settlement in medieval Wales, reflecting the integration of Norman ecclesiastical institutions within the Welsh landscape. The priory's physical remains survive in fragmentary form, with architectural elements and structural foundations bearing testimony to the priory church and associated monastic buildings that would have comprised the conventional establishment.
