The Regius Professorship of Divinity is one of the oldest and most prestigious of the professorships at the University of Oxford and at the University of Cambridge. A third chair existed for a period at Trinity College Dublin.

Both chairs were founded by Henry VIII. The Cambridge chair had a stipend of £40 per year, later increased by James I with the rectory of Somersham, Cambridgeshire.
