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.

Originally an annual event, the lectures have occurred somewhat sporadically since the 1970s.

According to literature, the 2001 lecture was the 33rd and the 2007 lecture the 35th. No record of the 34th (unless there's a miscount) exists.
