The Priory Church of St Mary, Abergavenny is a parish church in the centre of Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, Wales.

St. Mary's has been called "the Westminster Abbey of Wales" because of its large size, and the numerous high-status tomb monuments and medieval effigies surviving within it. The church was designated as a Grade I listed building on 1 July 1952.
