Handale Priory (also called Grendale) was a priory of Cistercian nuns in Handale, North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1133 by William, son of Roger de Percy, and was dissolved in 1539. A fishpond survives and a farmhouse built on the site in the 18th century may incorporate part of the priory.
