The Oriel and Laing Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture (until 1991 the Oriel Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture) is a chair in theology, particular Old Testament studies, at the University of Oxford.
Oriel College, Oxford, decided in 1876 to establish a chair in theology, funded by the revenue from a canonry at Rochester Cathedral controlled by the college.
The chair was renamed in 1991 to mark a donation from the Laing Foundation that secured its endowment.
The professorship carries with it a fellowship of Oriel College.
