The Selden Society is a learned society and registered charity concerned with the study of English legal history. It functions primarily as a text publication society, but also undertakes other activities to promote scholarship within its sphere of interest. It is the only learned society wholly devoted to the topic of English legal history.
The society takes its name from the eminent English jurist and legal and constitutional scholar, John Selden (1584–1654).
