The British Herpetological Society is an international herpetological society based in the United Kingdom. The BHS is a non-profit organisation with goals to support the conservation, education and captive care of reptiles and amphibians. The society regularly publishes the Herpetological Journal and Herpetological Bulletin on a quarterly basis. It is one of the oldest international herpetological societies.

The society was established in 1947 with the help of Dr Malcolm A Smith who was a physician who practiced in the Royal Court of Siam. Whilst in Siam, Dr Smith studied the herpetofauna as well as that of south-east Asia. After retiring, he returned to Britain where he developed an interest in the native reptiles and amphibians. This led him founding the society as a way to promote the values he saw fit in regards to the herpetofauna of the British Isles and the wider landscape
