St Neots Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the tenth century in Huntingdonshire, established on the site of an earlier Anglo-Saxon monastery. The priory was originally located at Eynesbury before being relocated to St Neots in the early eleventh century, where it became an important religious house of considerable wealth and influence throughout the medieval period. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in 1539, and the site has since been substantially destroyed, with little visible evidence remaining of the medieval structures that once stood there. The surviving archaeological and documentary record indicates that the priory complex originally comprised a church, cloister, and associated monastic buildings typical of Benedictine establishments of its time.
