The Czech Zoological Society, founded on 7 March 1927, as the Czechoslovak Zoological Society, is one of the oldest Czech scientific natural history societies that were established in the Czechoslovak Republic in the first years of its existence. Two of the oldest scientific societies had been established even earlier, in the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: the Czech Entomological Society in 1904 and the Czech Botanical Society in 1912. After the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic, four scientific societies were founded between 1922 and 1928, namely the Czechoslovak Biological Society in 1922, the Czechoslovak Society for Ornithology in 1926, the Czechoslovak Zoological Society in 1927 and the Czechoslovak Society for Microbiology in 1928.
