Biblica is an American Bible society founded in 1809 as the New York Bible Society to enable the publication and distribution of the Bible in many languages for Christian mission work. Long known as the International Bible Society (IBS), it sponsored and holds the copyright of the New International Version (NIV), a widely used English translation of the Bible.

In 1992 and 2007 IBS merged with two other prominent Bible societies. In 2009 the combined organization was named Biblica. Biblica is a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International.
