The International Federation of Philosophical Societies (French: Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie, FISP) is a world organization for learned societies in philosophy. Its member-societies arguably include every country where there is significant academic work in this field. Members also include philosophical institutions at regional and international levels.

FISP is the highest non-governmental world organization for philosophy. It sponsors the International Philosophy Olympiad and (every five years) the World Congress of Philosophy. The 25th World Congres Congress of Philosophy was held in Rome, Italy in August 2024. Previous World Congresses of Philosophy were held in Beijing (2018), Athens (2013), Seoul (2008), Istanbul (2003), and other cities in several countries. FISP is governed by an international board and steering committee, and its officers include prominent philosophers from various member countries. The current president is Heisook Kim and the general secretary is Jacob Dahl Rendtorff. Past presidents include Luca Scarantino, Dermot Moran, William L.McBride, Peter Kemp, Ioanna Kuçuradi, Evandro Agazzi, and Francisco Miró Quesada.
