Up Holland Benedictine Priory is a medieval religious foundation located in Lancashire, England, which was established as a priory in the twelfth century. The site served as an important centre of Benedictine monastic life in the region until its dissolution during the English Reformation in the sixteenth century. Surviving remains include fragments of the priory church and associated monastic buildings, which testify to the scale and significance of the foundation at the height of the medieval period. The priory church was notable for its substantial stone construction and architectural detailing characteristic of the later medieval period, and the site continues to be of considerable importance for understanding the religious landscape of medieval Lancashire.
