The Kipling Society is a literary society open to everyone interested in the work and life of British author Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936). The Kipling Society focuses on Kipling and his place in English Literature, and as such attracts members from all over the world, both general readers and academic researchers.

The Society's activities include: regular meetings in the UK, a programme of lectures in London, and a formal Annual Luncheon with a distinguished guest speaker, as well as conferences. The Society publishes The Kipling Journal quarterly, and hosts a comprehensive website, which includes a Readers’ Guide to Kipling’s works. In addition, it runs an essay writing competition for schools, answers enquiries from the public (schools, publishers and writers), and works with the media. In 2014 it contributed to programmes commemorating the centenary of the First World War. The Society is a Registered Charity (No. 278885) and its activities are managed by a Council and run by the Secretary and honorary officers: The Hon. Secretary, Mike Kipling; Chair, Janet Montefiore; Deputy Chair, Angela Eyre; President, David Richards; Librarian, John Walker; Journal Editor, Janet Montefiore.
