'''The Sir James George Frazer Memorial Lectureship in Social Anthropology''' is a British academic lecture series.

In 1920 a sum of £675 was raised by a committee of the University of Cambridge for the purpose of commemorating Sir James Frazer's contributions to learning. In accordance with the wishes of the subscribers, a Frazer Lectureship in Anthropology was founded, the annual income of the fund being assigned to the [[University of Oxford]], [[University of Cambridge]], [[University of Glasgow]] and [[University of Liverpool]] in rotation for this purpose.
