The Cloud Appreciation Society is a society founded by Gavin Pretor-Pinney from the United Kingdom in January 2005. The society aims to foster understanding and appreciation of clouds, and has over 50,000 members worldwide from 120 different countries, as of March 2020.

Yahoo! named the society's website as "the most weird and wonderful find on the internet for 2005".[1] The group and its founder were the focus of a BBC documentary Cloudspotting, based on Pretor-Pinney's book The Cloudspotter's Guide.[2] During an episode of Taskmaster, comedian Hugh Dennis revealed he is a member of the society.[3]
