St Neots Priory is a Benedictine monastic foundation located in the market town of St Neots in Huntingdonshire. The priory was established in the tenth century, developing from an earlier hermitage associated with Saint Neot, and grew to become an important religious house of considerable wealth and influence. The site later became the focus of a significant medieval settlement and market town that developed around the monastery. Although the priory buildings no longer stand, the site retains archaeological importance and its location within the modern town preserves evidence of the monastic layout and the urban expansion it generated.
