The German Academy (die Deutsche Akademie, pronounced [diː ˌdɔʏtʃə ʔakadeˈmiː]) is the short name of the Academy for the Scholarly Research and Fostering of Germandom (die Akademie zur Wissenschaftlichen Erforschung und Pflege des Deutschtums), a German cultural institute founded in 1925 at Munich, under the Weimar Republic. The geopolitician Karl Haushofer was among the academics associated with it in its initial phases. The inception of the German Academy was influenced by the much older Swedish Academy, instituted in 1786 by King Gustav III, as an institution "to further the purity, strength, and sublimity of the Swedish language".

Between 1939 and 1942, it was headed by Ludwig Siebert, Prime Minister of Bavaria.

In 1951, under Allied occupation, the German Federal Republic replaced the Deutsche Akademie with the present Goethe-Institut.
