{{Otheruses|Starr (disambiguation)}}Starr, or starra, was a term used in pre-14th-century England for the contract or obligation of a Jew. It derives from the Hebrew shtar, שטר, document.[1]

By an ordinance of Richard I, no English starr was valid unless deposited in one of certain repositories, the best-known of which was the King's exchequer at Westminster.[1] It was once speculated that the room where these were kept became known as the "starr-chamber" as a result,[2] although this theory is dismissed by the OED.
