Fogo Priory was the a Tironensian monastic community in Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders, dedicated to St Nicholas. It was founded sometime between 1253 and 1297 by a local landlord named Patrick Corbet, who granted lands to Kelso Abbey in order to establish a cell there. Only two of the priors of Fogo are known.
