'''Leeds University Library's Cookery Collection''' is one of the five [[Designation Scheme|Designated]] collections held by the [[Brotherton Library]] at [[University of Leeds]]. It comprises an extensive collection of international books, manuscripts and archives relating to food, cooking and culinary culture.

The collection began with a donation in 1939 to the Library of 1,500 books and a selection of manuscripts. The collection has grown since then and has been supplemented with further donations over time. It now consists of more than 8,000 printed cookery books and 75 manuscripts, spanning the period of 2500 BC to present day, with the majority of the works being from the early 16th – 20th century.<ref name="'Also of Interest', Cookery Printed Books">{{cite web|title='Also of Interest', Cookery Printed Books|url=https://library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections-explore/43229/cookery_printed_books|website=Special Collections|publisher=Leeds University Library|accessdate=5 April 2017}}</ref>
