Marsh Barton Priory, otherwise the Priory of St Mary de Marisco or St Mary of the Marsh, was a cell of Augustinian Canons in Marsh Barton, Exeter, Devon, England. It was founded in the mid-12th century. Although a small house, it owned a fair amount of property in and around Exeter. It was dissolved in 1539. The site seems to have been used mostly as a source of building stone. In the 20th century a "very ordinary and somewhat dilapidated" farmhouse stood there, but was demolished. The site is now part of a trading estate and no traces of the priory remain, but carved stone fragments from it occur around Plympton.
