The Batthyány Society of Professors ({{langx|hu|Professzorok Batthyány Köre}}) is a Hungarian association of conservative university professors founded in 1995 as a non-governmental organization. Members are committed to what they call "traditional European social virtues" and they aim to "give intellectual stimulation to the Hungarian nation thereby contributing to its spiritual and economic development". The society supports political parties and politicians who "work for a 'civic' Hungary".{{Cite web|url=http://www.bla.hu/profs/index_en.html|title=Batthyány Society of Professors|publisher=bla.hu|language=Hungarian|accessdate=1 April 2012}}
