The Society of Royal Cumberland Youths (SRCY) is a society of church bellringers, founded on September 6, 1747 and based in London, but with members around the world. The Society's head quarters is St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, but rings regularly at many of the City of London churches with rings of bells.

The society played a leading role in the early development of change ringing, and today, it provides ringers for important events at St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Although it is a non-territorial association, its importance is recognised by having four representatives at the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. They are one of the two major historical ringing Societies based in London, the other being the Ancient Society of College Youths.
