Wolfe Tone Society (WTS) is an Irish Republican support organization based in London, England.

Named after the founder of Irish Republicanism, Theobald Wolfe Tone, the organisation was formed in 1984 from the various smaller Irish republican groups working in London.

The WTS have annual events in the form of parades and protests covering events such as Bloody Sunday memorial and St. Patrick's Day. It regularly invites members of the pro-United Ireland party, Sinn Féin, over to Britain for events. The WTS also has the support of some British politicians, including John McDonnell MP.

The WTS is primarily focused in London, with major meetings held at the Camden Irish Centre. This is in contrast to other support groups like Friends of Ireland, a Scottish organisation not to be confused with an American organisation of the same name, and the Troops Out Movement, who mainly operate in different parts of Britain.
