Weybourne Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in Norfolk, England. The house was established as a daughter foundation and maintained a modest scale throughout the medieval period, housing a small community of monks. The surviving earthworks and fragmentary architectural remains indicate the layout of the priory's principal buildings, though much of the site has been lost to subsequent agricultural use and coastal erosion. The priory was dissolved during the English Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which its buildings were progressively demolished and robbed for materials.
