# Medaglia Linneana

La medaglia Linneana chiamata in inglese Linnean Medal (ed in precedenza nota come Gold Medal) è un'onorificenza conferita dalla Linnean Society of London, una prestigiosa associazione dedita alla diffusione della storia naturale e dello studio della tassonomia. Il premio fu istituito nel 1888 e viene riconosciuto ogni anno alternando un botanico e un zoologo, dal 1958 si è instaurato l'uso di conferirlo ad entrambe le tipologie di studiosi. Fino al 1976 la medaglia era in oro per questo motivo era anche chiamata "the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society".
