"Ruins of Walsingham Priory, Norfolk, 1807-08" is a watercolor painting by the English artist John Sell Cotman (1782–1842), a leading figure in the Norwich School of painters. Created during a period when the British Romantic movement was at its zenith, Cotman's work captures the picturesque and melancholic beauty of the medieval ruins of Walsingham Priory, located in Norfolk, England. The priory was once an important site of pilgrimage but fell into disrepair following the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII.

Cotman's depiction of Walsingham Priory is notable for its masterful use of light and shadow, which imbues the scene with a sense of timeless tranquility and reflects the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime and the historical past. The composition is characterized by its architectural accuracy and attention to the textures of the stonework, set against a backdrop of the English countryside. The artwork is part of a series of studies and sketches of Norfolk antiquities that Cotman undertook during this period, which contributed to his reputation as an accomplished landscape painter and topographical draughtsman.

The painting is a testament to Cotman's skill in rendering architectural ruins, a popular subject among artists and poets of the time, who often saw them as symbols of the inevitable decay of human endeavors and the enduring power of nature. "Ruins of Walsingham Priory, Norfolk, 1807-08" is held in high esteem for its historical significance and its role in the development of British watercolor painting.
