Hampole Priory was a priory of Cistercian nuns (Knowles & Hadcock) in Hampole, South Yorkshire, England. Its existence was documented in a papal bull of 1146. The nuns were active in the wool trade.^[1] Richard Rolle, a mystic author in the 14th century known as the "hermit of Hampole", settled at the priory after several moves and lived there until his death in 1349.^[2] It was dissolved in the 16th century.^[3]

In 1552, Edward VI granted the nunnery to Francis Aislaby, a soldier who had served in Scotland at the siege of Haddington and was captain of Dunglass Castle.^[4] A cottage now stands on the site of the former priory.
