Blackfriars Monastery was a priory of the Dominican Order in Canterbury, Kent. Founded in 1237, it lay either side of the River Stour in the west of the city. The priory was suppressed in 1538 and over the following century buildings were gradually demolished. The refectory on the east bank survives, used as an Anabaptist (later Unitarian) meeting house from 1640 - 1912 and, more recently, as an art gallery. The guest house on the west bank became a private residence in the 1780s and a furniture store from 1905 and, more recently, a scout and community hall. The monument is within the council area of Canterbury (Kent).
