{{Short description|Professorship at the University of Cambridge}}
The '''Ely Professorship of Divinity''' was one of the [professorships](/source/List_of_Professorships_at_the_University_of_Cambridge) in [divinity](/source/divinity) at the [University of Cambridge](/source/University_of_Cambridge). Originally part of the [Regius Professorship of Greek](/source/Regius_Professor_of_Greek_(Cambridge)), it was detached in 1889 and funded by the canonry of [Ely](/source/Ely%2C_Cambridgeshire), but has since been suppressed. The professors holding this chair were thus made residentiary [canons](/source/canon_(priest)) of Ely Cathedral.<ref name=lib>{{cite web |url=http://venn.lib.cam.ac.uk/Documents/acad/lists/P.html |accessdate=10 April 2019 |title=Professors |publisher=Cambridge Library |archive-date=27 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210827000448/https://venn.lib.cam.ac.uk/Documents/acad/lists/P.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
