Lent term named for Lent, the 6-week fasting period before Easter, is the name of the winter academic term at the following British universities:
- University of Cambridge
- Kings College London
- London School of Economics and Political Science
- Exeter University
- University of Lancaster
- University of Wales, Lampeter
- University of Wales, Aberystwyth
- Canterbury Christ Church University

and was the name of the autumn term at the University of Sydney before it swapped over to the two semester system in 1989.
The term runs from January to March and thus corresponds to Hilary term at Oxford and Dublin, and Epiphany term at Durham. At Sydney, it ran from March to May (10th to 22nd Mondays of the year).
