The National Audubon Society is an American non-profit environmental organization dedicated to conservation. Incorporated in 1905, it is one of the oldest of such organizations in the world. It is named in honor of John James Audubon, a Franco-American ornithologist and naturalist who painted, cataloged, and described the birds of North America in his famous book Birds of America published in sections between 1827 and 1838.

The society has many local chapters, each of which is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization voluntarily affiliated with the National Audubon Society, which often organize birdwatching field trips and conservation-related activities. It also coordinates the Christmas Bird Count held each December in the U.S., an example of citizen science, as well as, in partnership with Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Great Backyard Bird Count each February. Together with Cornell, it created eBird, an online database for bird observation.

The society's main offices are in New York City and Washington, D.C., and it has state offices in about 24 states. It also owns and operates a number of nature centers open to the public, located at bird refuges, urban settings, including New York City, Phoenix and Los Angeles as well as at bird refuges and other natural areas, as part of its mission to educate the public about birds and to preserve avian and other habitats.
