Crawford Priory is a ruined estate house in Fife, Scotland, and former family seat. It lies on the eponymous Crawford Priory Estate between the villages of Pitlessie and Springfield, and about 3 miles (5 km) south west of the nearest town, Cupar.
Originally built as Crawford Lodge by the 21st Earl of Crawford in 1758, Lady Mary Lindsay Crawford commissioned enlargements and alterations in a 'gothic ecclesiastical' style from David Hamilton and James Gillespie Graham in the early 19th century, gaining it its ultimate grandure and priory name. Despite subsequent improvements, the property was eventually abandoned in 1968 after becoming too difficult to maintain, with attempts at demolition or redevelopment unsuccessful.
A widely-praised early example of gothic revival architecture, Crawford Priory is of category A class, but holds only category B listed building status due to its ruinous state.
