The Tolkien Society is an educational charity and literary society devoted to the study and promotion of the life and works of the author and academic J. R. R. Tolkien.
It began informally in 1969, and held its inaugural meeting in 1970. It holds five annual events, namely a Birthday Toast, a Tolkien Reading Day, an AGM and Springmoot, a Seminar, and the Oxonmoot conference-and-convention.
The society publishes a bulletin named Amon Hen, and a peer-reviewed journal, Mallorn. It has local groups called "smials", one of which, the Cambridge Tolkien Society, publishes the open access journal Anor.
