The Disney Professorship of Archaeology is an endowed chair in archaeology at the University of Cambridge. It was endowed by English barrister and antiquarian John Disney in 1851 with a donation of £1,000. He arranged for a further £3,500 bequest upon his death in 1857.[1][2]
As of 2022[update] Disney Professors have also served as the Directors of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, which was founded in 1990.[3]
