The Sir Harry and Lady Djanogly Learning Resource Centre (or the Djanogly LRC) is a library on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham, England.

The library houses books and resources relating to education and computer science. It also housed books relating to the Business School, prior to their move to a specific Business library in 2004.

The library is a striking circular building situated on an island platform in the middle of the campus lake. It was designed by the architect Sir Michael Hopkins. It was initially rumoured to be sinking because the architects had forgotten to account for the weight of its books, but whatever the truth of this rumour, any problem has now been fixed.

The library was named after the philanthropists Sir Harry and Lady Djanogly who gave a significant contribution towards the cost of its construction. Sir Harry is the father of Jonathan Djanogly the MP for Huntingdon (as of 2007).
