Swavesey Priory was a medieval monastic house in the village of Swavesey Cambridgeshire England. A church existed in Swavesey at the time of the Norman Conquest when Alan Count of Richmond granted it to the Benedictine Abbey of St Sergius and St Bacchus in Angers France. The Abbey founded an alien priory in Swavesey by 1086. It ceased to function in 1539 during the dissolution of the monasteries. The site is now a scheduled ancient monument.
