The Bampton Lectures in America are either a series of lectures, or single lecture, delivered during the academic year by a prominent scholar on a topic of their choosing. The lectures, modeled on the Bampton Lectures at Oxford, were established by a bequest from Ada Byron Bampton Tremaine. The lectures are subsequently published by Columbia University Press.

Originally an annual event, only 12 lectures were delivered between 1969 and 2007, with two each for the entirety of 1970s and 1990s. Since 2007 the lectures have been held on a biennial basis.
