As Conferências Massey (em inglês: Massey Lectures) são palestras anuais que transcorrem durante uma semana, sobre tópicos políticos, culturais e filosóficos, no Canadá.
Surgiram em 1961, denominadas em memória de Vincent Massey., governador-geral do Canadá. Seu propósito é "habilitar autoridades competentes a reportar os resultado e de estudos originais sobre assuntos fundamentais de interesse contemporâneo".[1] Dentre os mais destacados conferencistas incluem-se Northrop Frye, John Kenneth Galbraith, Noam Chomsky, Margaret Atwood, Ursula Franklin, e os laureados com o Nobel Martin Luther King Jr., George Wald, Willy Brandt e Doris Lessing.
