Langley Priory was originally a Benedictine nunnery in Leicestershire, England. It is located around a mile and a half south of East Midlands Airport; around a mile from the village of Diseworth. It was probably dissolved with the other small monasteries in 1536. The remains of the priory were thought to have been incorporated into a later house which was also called "Langley Priory". Until 1858 it was considered an extra parochial area. In 1858 it was declared a civil parish and in 1894 became part of Castle Donington Rural District. In 1936 it was merged with a small neighbouring parish named Isley-Walton to become the parish of Isley cum Langley. In 1974 the new parish became part of the North West Leicestershire District.
