Canadian Society of Medievalists (CSM; French: Société canadienne des médiévistes [SCM]) is a Canadian learned society of medievalists "dedicated to promoting excellence in research for all aspects of medieval studies".[1]

In addition to its biannual newsletter, Scrinium, the society publishes Florilegium, "an international, peer-reviewed journal concerned with the study of late Antiquity and the Middle Ages".[2] It holds an annual conference together with other scholarly groups as part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (the "Learneds"),[3] and develops and collaborates on scholarly projects with related associations including the international network of medievalists, CARMEN[4] (the Co-operative for the Advancement of Research through a Medieval European Network).[5]

The society's first president was Margaret Wade Labarge, in 1993.
