Hilary Priestley is a mathematician. She is a professor at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford, where she has been Tutor in Mathematics since 1972.^[1]

Priestley introduced ordered separable topological spaces that are important in the study of distributive lattices; such topological spaces are now usually called Priestley spaces in her honour. She has also contributed to the representation theory of distributive lattices.
