Swingfield Preceptory (or St John's Commandery, Swingfield) was a priory about 5 miles north of Folkestone, Kent on the south coast of England. It was taken over by the Knights Hospitaller in 1180 after sisters of the same order were moved to Buckland Priory. It was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the mid 16th Century.
