The Iraqi Academy of Sciences (Arabic: المجمع العلمي العراقي) is an academy in Baghdad founded in 1947 for the purpose of developing and regulating the Arabic language in Iraq and the Arab World.

The Academy also has two other departments to regulate and develop Kurdish and Aramaic (Syriac) in Iraq; those two departments were founded in 1963.

It was looted during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[1]

The current president is Mohammed Husayn Al Yaseen, professor of Arabic at University of Baghdad.[when?]
