The Akademio de Esperanto (Academy of Esperanto) is an independent body intended to control the evolution of the language Esperanto by keeping it consistent with the fundamental principles thereof. Modelled somewhat after the Académie française, it was proposed by L. L. Zamenhof, creator of Esperanto, at the First World Congress of Esperanto, and founded soon after with the name Lingva Komitato (Language Committee). This Committee had a "superior commission" called "Akademio" ("Academy"). In 1948, within the framework of a general reorganization, the Language Committee and the Academy combined to form the Akademio de Esperanto.

The body consists of 45 members, and has a president, vice-presidents and a secretary. The corresponding address including e-mail is at the secretary. The finance is covered by subsidy from World Esperanto Association and donations.
