The Prior of Fogo was the head of the Tironensian monastic community and lands of Fogo Priory, Roxburghshire, founded sometime between 1253 and 1297. The patron was a local landlord named Patrick Corbet, who granted lands to Kelso Abbey to establish a cell there. Although almost none of the priors are known, the following two are recorded:

• William Leischmann, 1465-1466
• Andrew Leslie, 1537
