Priesthood is the third studio album by Wu-Tang Clan affiliate and Sunz of Man rapper Killah Priest.[5] He had previously cut ties with the Wu-Tang Clan after problems with its leader RZA, and this album receives no input from them.

Priesthood is Killah Priest's first independent release, as his last album, View from Masada, sold poorly and he was dropped from his label. As a result, the album received very limited distribution and low sales, though it was well received by critics.
