Bentley Priory was a medieval priory or cell of Augustinian Canons in Harrow Weald, then in Middlesex but now in the London Borough of Harrow. There are no remains of the priory, but it probably stood near Priory House, off Clamp Hill.
Roman remains have been found in the grounds of the priory. The name 'Bentley' is thought to derive from 'beonet', a kind of coarse grass.
