Society of Entomologists of London var ett av en rad kortlivade entomologiska sällskap i London under 1700- och 1800-talen, vars medlemmar möttes för att uppvisa, arbestämma, byta, sälja eller köpa insekter som ibland var lika dyra som böcker - entomologin var begränsad till de välsituerade. Det var en tid av kolonial expansion och alla slags exotica flödade in till handelscentra som London och Amsterdam. Dessa innefattade inte bara insekter utan även till exempel snäckskal, vilka många entomologer också samlade på.

The Society of Entomologists of London was one of a series of brief-lived entomological societies based in London. The members met to exhibit, identify and exchange, sell or purchase insects which were sometimes very expensive as were books. Entomology was limited to the wealthy. It was a time of colonial expansion and exotica of all kinds flooded into trade centres such as London or Amsterdam. These included shells as well as insects and many entomologists collected these too.

In the 1700s people met at coffeehouses and taverns in London and several had meetings catering to specific interests. The botanists met at the Rainbow Coffee House, Watling Street, while the entomologists met at the Swan Tavern, Exchange Alley from the 1720s. These early entomologists, mainly interested in the butterflies, formed into a group and called themselves the Society of Aurelians.
