The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA) is a professional organisation of ecologists. Based in Australia and founded in 1959, ESA publications include peer-reviewed journals, newsletters, fact sheets, and on-line resources. It holds an annual conference, sometimes in conjunction with the New Zealand Ecological Society (EcoTAS) including the joint meetings EcoTAS 2013 (Auckland, NZ) and EcoTAS 2017 (Hunter Valley, NSW).

ESA's over 1500 members are researchers, educators, natural resource managers, and students from all Australian states and territories. The ESA has an over 60-year history supporting ecologists, promoting ecology and ecological research.

ESA publishes two journals: Austral Ecology and Ecological Management and Restoration.
