The Dominican Friary, Winchester, otherwise Winchester Blackfriars, was a priory of the Dominican Order in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It was founded between 1231 and 1234, one of the earliest Dominican foundations in England. [1]

The friary, dedicated to Saint Catherine, was situated in the High Street, near Eastgate, between the River Itchen and Busket Street. [2]

It was dissolved in 1538 and like the other friaries of Winchester its property soon passed into the possession of Winchester College. [1] The site has been fully re-developed and there are no visible remains. [2]
