The Kurdish Institute of Paris (French: Institut kurde de Paris; Kurdish: ئینستیتیوتی کوردیی پاریس), founded in February 1983 by (amongst others) film producer Yılmaz Güney and poet Cigerxwîn, is an organisation focused on the Kurdish language, culture, and history.

Its main publications include the linguistic journal Kurmancî, a monthly press review about Kurdish issues titled Bulletin de liaison et d'information (Bulletin of Contact and Information), and Études Kurdes, a research journal in French.

The institute has a library preserving thousands of historical documents, pamphlets and periodicals about Kurds.

The institute is headed by Kendal Nezan as president, with Abbas Vali (Swansea University) and Fuad Hussein (University of Amsterdam) as vice presidents.

Kurmancî is a linguistic magazine published twice a year since 1987 to spread the results of the Kurdish Institute's linguistic seminars on problems of terminology and standardisation of the Kurdish language.
