Las Conferencias Terry (Terry Lectures), o Conferencias Dwight H. Terry, se iniciaron en la Universidad de Yale en 1905 por una donación de Dwight H. Terry de Bridgeport, Connecticut. Su propósito es involucrar tanto a estudiosos como al público en una consideración de la religión desde un punto de vista humanista, a la luz de la ciencia y de la filosofía moderna. El tema ha sido históricamente similar a la de las Gifford Lectures en Escocia, y varios profesores han participado en ambas series.
