Ely Professor of Divinity

The Ely Professorship of Divinity was one of the professorships in divinity at the University of Cambridge. Originally part of the Regius Professorship of Greek, it was detached in 1889 and funded by the canonry of Ely, but has now been suppressed. The professors holding this chair were thus made residentiary canons of Ely Cathedral.
