Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) is an award granted to individuals that the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland's national academy of science and letters, judged to be "eminently distinguished in their subject".

This society received a royal charter in 1783, allowing for its expansion.

[4] Examples of current fellows include Peter Higgs and Jocelyn Bell Burnell.

[1] Previous fellows have included Melvin Calvin, Benjamin Franklin, James Clerk Maxwell, James Watt, Thomas Reid, and Andrew Lawrence.
