St Oswald's Priory is a Benedictine monastic foundation located in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, established in the late tenth century. The priory was endowed by the Anglo-Saxon bishop and saint Oswald, who served as Archbishop of York, and it became one of the most significant religious houses in the West Midlands during the medieval period. The surviving remains include substantial stone walls and architectural fragments that attest to the scale and importance of the original monastery. The site has been subject to archaeological investigation which has revealed evidence of the priory's layout and construction phases across the medieval centuries.
