The Society of the Descendants of the Schwenkfeldian Exiles is a lineage society with membership open to descendants of the 209 members of the Schwenkfelder Church who arrived near Penn's Landing between 1731 and 1737 and settled in Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1921 by William Wagener Porter and had an initial membership of 125 individuals.

It is not affiliated officially with any Schwenkfelder institution. It was previously a member of the Pennsylvania Federation of Historical Societies.
